L-carnitine protects C2C12 cells against mitochondrial superoxide overproduction and cell death.
2017
International audience; AIMTo identify and characterize the protective effect that L-carnitine exerted against an oxidative stress in C2C12 cells.METHODSMyoblastic C2C12 cells were treated with menadione, a vitamin K analog that engenders oxidative stress, and the protective effect of L-carnitine (a nutrient involved in fatty acid metabolism and the control of the oxidative process), was assessed by monitoring various parameters related to the oxidative stress, autophagy and cell death.RESULTSAssociated with its physiological function, a muscle cell metabolism is highly dependent on oxygen and may produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), especially under pathological conditions. High levels o…
