Background:

Stearoyl-L-carnitine is a naturally occurring long-chain acylcarnitine [1]. It inhibits sodium-dependent [3H]carnitine uptake in human proximal convoluted tubular (HPCT) cells by 52% when used at a concentration of 500 μM [2] It also inhibits lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase activity in rat, but not human, plasma when used at a concentration of 500 μM/ml of plasma. [3] Plasma levels of stearoyl-L-carnitine are decreased in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome and increased in patients with end-stage renal disease.[1][4]
