    Abstract:
    The present study revealed a degree of carnitine deficiency in a large percentage of Down's syndrome children. In fact below average carnitine levels were noted in 39.1% of the cases examined with severe deficiency in 4. On the basis of these data supplementary carnitine is recommended in cases of deficiency particularly in view of the value of carnitine in the prevention of cell aging.
