Description
Assessment of the concentration of acylcarnitines - substances that are intermediate products of metabolic reactions, for the timely diagnosis of metabolic disorders and pathologies resulting from them.
* Reference values are provided for persons aged 18 and older.
Acylcarnitines included in the complex:
Free carnitine (C0)
Acetylcarnitine (C2)
Propionylcarnitine (C3)
Butyrylcarnitine (C4)
Isovalerylcarnitine (C5)
Glutarylcarnitine (C5DC)
Hexanoylcarnitine (C6)
Octanoylcarnitine (C8)
Decanoylcarnitine (C10)
Dodecanoylcarnitine (C12)
Tetradecanoylcarnitine (C14)
Hexadecanoylcarnitine (C16)
Stearoylcarnitine (C18)
Esterified carnitines = SUM(C2,C3...C18)
Total carnitines = free+esterified
Ratio esterified/free carnitine = (total carnitine-free carnitine)/free carnitine
