l-Carnitine enhances exercise endurance capacity by promoting muscle oxidative metabolism in mice

l-Carnitine (LC), the bioactive form of carnitine, has been shown to play a key role in muscle fuel metabolism during exercise, resulting in increased fatty acid oxidation and energy expenditure. However, whether LC contributes to improved endurance exercise performance remains controversial. This s...
