内容説明

During the past decade, it has become increasingly evident that L-carnitine is intimately involved in many different aspects of medicine. The precise nature of this involvement is the subject of ongoing studies being conducted in clinics and laboratories world wide. The purpose of this book is to provide an introductory overview of the metabolism of carnitine and its role in medicine as it is understood today. Any advances in our understanding to be made in the future might then be better placed in context. The first comprehensive review of the function and therapeutic uses of L-carnitine, the book includes three sections covering a general introduction to the basic aspects of carnitine metabolism, and the involvement of carnitine in the clinical aspects of pediatric medicine and of adult medicine.
