Across different organs, protein-bound lysine is methylated to form -N-trimethyllysine in a reaction catalyzed by specific lysine methyltransferases that use S-adenosyl-methionine (derived from methionine) as a methyl donor

Research on aged rats found supplementation with high doses of acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) and ALA (an antioxidant) reduced deterioration

When long-chain fatty acids cannot enter the mitochondria due to a broken carnitine shuttle, they accumulate in the cellular cytoplasm

It is also important to consider the fact that the bioavailability of L-carnitine and acylcarnitine derivatives administered orally is low (~10-20%) (see Metabolism and Bioavailability)

The Lonza study in humans found that L-carnitine tartrate did not alter the ACE1/ACE2 ratio
