L-propionylcarnitine and ischemia:
According to researchers supplementation with L-propionylcarnitine (LPC, important for energy production in cells) may be beneficial to individuals suffering from ischemia. Men (n=31) with left coronary artery disease were administered either 15 mg/kg of LPC or placebo and then underwent pacing stress tests. After LPC administration, oxygen demand and supply to the heart remain unchanged. However, heart ischemia (restriction of blood supply) was reduced and the amount of blood being pumped out of the left ventricle of the heart increased by 18%. Additionally, recovery of heart function after pacing increased among those taking LPC. In conclusion, LPC has an anti-schemia effect. (22)
