Carnitine acyltransferases and their influence on CoA pools in health and disease
Inclusion criteria This review considered peer-reviewed studies of L-carnitine supplementation in subjects with coronary artery disease across predefined designs, each with a distinct role, including preclinical evidence such as animal studies which provided mechanistic evidence and insights on emerging pathways, as well as clinical evidence such as case reports, cross-sectional studies, observational studies, retrospective analyses, randomized controlled trials, systematic review and meta-analyses which provided primary evidence as well as quantitative analysis of clinical endpoints
Source quality filters reduce ambiguity by ranking evidence types
Thus, the reduced levels of both glutamate and pyroglutamate observed in barren habitat sea urchins from this study likely reflects their use as energy substrates, coinciding with an increased need for NADH production from alternative sources under conditions of nutrient scarcity
