Carnitine is a metabolic remedy. The drug stimulates metabolic processes, participating in various links of energy metabolism, has anabolic, antihypoxic and antithyroid effect, activates lipid metabolism, stimulates regeneration, increases appetite. Carnitine - a natural substance, related to vitamins of group B. It is a cofactor of metabolic processes that ensure the maintenance of CoA activity. Reduces the basal metabolism, slows down the breakdown of protein and carbohydrate molecules. Promotes penetration through the membranes of mitochondria and the cleavage of long-chain fatty acids (palmitic and others) with the formation of acetyl-CoA, necessary to ensure the activity of pyruvate carboxylase in the process of gluconeogenesis, the formation of ketone bodies, the synthesis of choline and its ethers,oxidative phosphorylation and the formation of ATP. Mobilizes fat (the presence of three labile methyl groups) from fat stores. Competitively superseding glucose, includes a fatty acid metabolic shunt whose activity is not limited by oxygen (in contrast to aerobic glycolysis), in connection with which the drug is effective in conditions of acute hypoxia (in the so-called brain) and other critical conditions. It has neurotrophic action, inhibits apoptosis, limits the affected area and restores the structure of the nervous tissue. Normalizes protein and fat metabolism, increased basal metabolism in hyperthyroidism (being a partial antagonist of thyroxin). The drug restores the alkaline blood reserve, does not affect the blood coagulation system, reduces the formation of keto acids, increases the resistance of tissues to the effect of toxic decay products, activates aerobic processes and depresses anaerobic glycolysis, has antihypoxic properties, stimulates and accelerates reparative processes.
