Notes: Palmitoyl-DL-carnitine is a long-chain acylcarnitine with both intracellular and extracellular roles. Within the cell, palmitoylcarnitine is transported into mitochondria to deliver palmitate for fatty acid oxidation and energy production.{20215} Exogenously added Palmitoyl-DL-carnitine alters calcium mobilization in many cell types.{20218,20222,20221} It also affects endothelial and epithelial tight junctions, reducing resistance and increasing permeability while decreasing cell viability.{20217,20220}
