Age-dependent decrease of carnitine content in muscle of mice and humans.
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications 1989 June 31
Carnitine deficiency associated with impairment of muscle function has been described in infants and young adults as a result of inherited or acquired disease but there are no reports on carnitine levels in healthy aging people. In this paper we show a marked reduction of carnitine and its derivatives in muscle, and of long-chain acyl carnitine in heart of 6-month-old mice, when compared to animals of 6 weeks of age. Analysis of muscle samples of healthy humans of different ages showed a drastic reduction of carnitine and acetyl carnitine in the older subjects with a strong reverse correlation between age and carnitine levels.
