Carnitine [Moles/volume] in Serum or Plasma
Active
Term Description
"Carnitine" is an alternative way to say total carnitines which = free carnitine + acylcarnitines, or stated another way, unesterified + esterified carnitine.
Part Description
LP14482-1 Carnitine
Carnitine is used to mean total carnitines, because historically total carnitine was measured by heating up the sample and breaking off the esters which provided pure carnitine. (Carnitine is also a single molecule which is described as free carnitine - with the acronym, C0). Aclycarnitine is not a single moiety but rather describes all of the esterified carnitines.
So Total carnitine = free carnitine(C0) + acylcarnitine = esterified + unesterified carnitine.
