Product Information

• Name: Acetyl L-carnitine chloride
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Acetyl L-carnitine chloride (ALCAR) is a carnitine molecule that is used as a dietary supplement. It can be converted to acetyl coenzyme A, which provides energy for the cells and helps with the production of neurotransmitters. ALCAR has been shown to reduce neuronal death in an animal model of oxidative injury. It also increases levels of glutathione and prevents lipid peroxidation. Acetyl L-carnitine chloride is a cell permeable reagent that can be used to measure GSH-px activities in biological samples. This compound has been shown to inhibit the activity of cell nuclei and mitochondrial enzymes, such as succinate dehydrogenase, citrate synthase, and malate dehydrogenase.
