Notes: Stearoyl-L-carnitine is a naturally occurring long-chain acylcarnitine.{42563} It inhibits sodium-dependent [3H]carnitine uptake in human proximal convoluted tubular (HPCT) cells by 52% when used at a concentration of 500 μM.{46079} It also inhibits lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase activity in rat, but not human, plasma when used at a concentration of 500 μM/ml of plasma.{42574} Plasma levels of stearoyl-L-carnitine are decreased in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome and increased in patients with end-stage renal disease.{42563,42564}
