Apart from its participation in fat metabolism, the action of L-carnitine also includes: providing acetyl groups for the production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, reducing the production of lactic acid, thereby increasing the ability of muscles to perform, metabolism of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), carbohydrate metabolism - high levels of L-carnitine in muscles reduce the use of glycogen as an energy material (and increase the use of fat), which is particularly important during prolonged exercise, and inhibits the formation of fat tissue, antioxidant activity, chelating certain metal ions, facilitating their transport and removal of harmful excess from the body
In REDEFINE 2, which included participants with type 2 diabetes (a population that typically shows lower weight loss with any intervention), CagriSema achieved 13.7% weight loss compared to 3.4% with placebo
Interestingly, BPC 157 has also shown promise in improving gut health
The population was plated on solid YP20D medium containing 15 g/L agar and incubated at 30 C for 48 h
