L-carnitine effects in CCl4-nephrotoxicity: Immunohistochemical evaluation of glomerular nephrin and HIF-1alpha expressions

Abstract: In this study, we aimed to demonstrate the effects of L-carnitine after carbontetrachloride (CCl 4) toxicity through nephrin and Hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) expressions in the glomerular structure. Materials and Methods: Forty male Sprague dawley rats were divided into 5 groups with animals in each group. Group I: Control group; 0.2 ml olive oil intraperitoneal (ip) twice weekly, Group II: L-carnitine group; 200 mg/kg Lcarnitine (ip) twice a week, Group III: CCl 4 group; 0.2 ml CCl 4 (ip) twice a… Show more

“…Levo-carnitine (L-carnitine) is an antioxidant supplement that is made from the naturally occurring amino acid derivative 3-hydroxy-trimethylaminobutyric acid. Endogenous production of L-carnitine takes place in the brain, kidneys, and liver [14]. Lcarnitine is an essential component of energy production because it makes it easier for fatty acids to enter mitochondria, which raises mitochondrial activity [15].…”
