Cellular uptake by macrophages and ensuing clearance by the mononuclear phagocyte system stands as a significant biological barrier for nanoparticle therapeutics. While there is a growing body of work investigating the design principles essential for imparting nanomaterials with long-circulating characteristics

The effect of ascorbate deficiency on carnitine biosynthesis was investigated in young male guinea pigs. Liver and skeletal muscle carnitine levels were reduced in scorbutic animals. Heart and kidney concentrations remained unchanged. 14C-labeled 4-N-trimethylaminobutyrate was administered to control, pair-fed and

Carnitine is indispensable for energy metabolism, since it enables activated fatty acids to enter the mitochondria, where they are broken down via beta-oxidation. Carnitine is probably present in all animal species, and in numerous micro-organisms and plants. In mammals, carnitine
L M Henderson et al.
Federation proceedings, 41(12), 2843-2847 (1982-10-01)
The biosynthesis of carnitine proceeds from trimethyllysine (TML) by beta-hydroxylation by a liver or kidney mitochondrial enzyme, which requires oxygen, alpha-ketoglutarate, ferrous iron, and ascorbate. This dioxygenase is rapidly inactivated by preincubation with Fe2+, but not Fe3+. The evidence suggests
