Can acetyl-L-carnitine be used for neuroprotection?
In recent years there has been considerable interest in the therapeutic potential of L-carnitine and its acetylated derivative acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR) for neuroprotection in a number of disorders including hypoxia-ischemia, traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer’s disease and in conditions leading to central or peripheral nervous system injury.

How does acylcarnitine affect CPT I?
Thus treatment with L-carnitine enables CPT I to transfer the acyl groups from acyl-CoAs to free carnitine, yielding acylcarnitine esters, which prevents the accumulation of, and subsequent damage from, high levels of acyl-CoAs [ 19 ].
Is acetyl-L-carnitine a good dietary supplement?
large body of evidence points to the positive effects of dietary supplementation of acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC). Its use has shown health benefits in neuroinflammation, which is a common denominator in a host of neurodegenerative diseases.
