Product Information

• Name: Palmitoyl-DL-carnitine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Palmitoyl-DL-carnitine is a natural compound found in the body that plays an important role in energy metabolism. It has been shown to significantly increase intracellular calcium levels and activate the enzyme activity of phospholipase A2, which is responsible for the release of arachidonic acid from membrane phospholipids. Palmitoyl-DL-carnitine also has an effect on cellular energy metabolism by increasing mitochondrial membrane potential and decreasing reactive oxygen species production. Palmitoyl-DL-carnitine also protects against muscle cell death by inhibiting apoptosis and necrosis, which are usually triggered by pharmacological agents such as rotenone or bafilomycin A1.
