Metabolic Rate of carnitine in fat Metabolism.

METABOLIC ROLE OF CARNITINE IN FAT METABOLISM CIRCULATION -00- Glycogen Intramuscular lipid Glycolysis Acyl-CoA Lactate + Pyruvate Acetylcarnitine CYTOSOL CARNITINE CPTI соз6 CACT Acylcarnitine PDC CACT CPT2 CAT COA Acyl-CoA Acetyl-CoA B-oxidation MITOCHONDRION H°, ATP TCA Respiratory chain ADP + Pi Cycle Carnitine transports long-chain fatty acids (a.k.a., fat) into the mitochondria, which are the energy powerhouses (or fat-burning furnaces) found in muscle cells. Inside the mitochondria, fatty acids are burned off through a process called beta-oxidation.
