  • Title: Concurrent occurrence of elevated ketone body and depressed carnitine level in underfed guinea-pigs.
    Author: Sandor A, Kerner J, Alkonyi I.
    Journal: Experientia; 1981; 37(9):933-4. PubMed ID: 7297653.
    Abstract:
    Food ingestion of male guinea-pigs was restricted to 10 g/day. Total carnitine content of liver of the underfed animals fell to 3.75 mumoles per liver (46.1% of control). Serum level of total carnitine was 35.0 nmoles/ml (64.4%) in the underfed animals while they developed high ketonemia, 384.2 nmoles/ml (555.2%). In "restricted' animals the carnitine levels also decreased in the muscles.
