Acetyl-L-carnitine
L-Acetylcarnitine (Acetylcarnitine or ALC or LAC) is an acetic acid ester of carnitine that facilitates the movement of acetyl-CoA into the matrices of mammalian mitochondria during the oxidation of fatty acids. Acetylcarnitine is an endogenous compound widely distributed in many tissues, including brain. Chemically, acetylcarnitine is the acetylated derivative of the amino acid L-carnitine whose function is generally correlated with regulation of energy metabolism within mitochondria. The synthesis of acetylcarnitine is catalyzed by the enzyme carnitine acetyltransferase (CAT), which is located on the inner mitochondrial membrane as well as in endoplasmic reticulum and peroxisome. CAT promotes the transfer of an acetyl group from acetyl-Coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) to carnitine, thereby producing acetylcarnitine and free CoA (PMID: 29267192). After being synthetized, acetylcarnitine is transported outside mitochondria into the cytosol by the enzyme carnitine/acetylcarnitine translocase (CACT). This is a crucial metabolic reaction for beta-oxidation of fatty acids whereby acetylcarnitine facilitates the transport of acetyl-CoA across mitochondrial membranes (PMID: 29267192). In addition to his metabolic role, L-acetylcarnitine possesses unique neuroprotective, neuromodulatory, and neurotrophic properties. acetylcarnitine is mobile throughout the plasma membranes and can rapidly cross blood-brain barrier. Indeed, acetylcarnitine can be transported by the high-affinity sodium-dependent organic cation/transporter (OCTN2), which is functionally expressed in cells forming the blood-brain barrier (PMID: 29267192). A wide range of mechanisms have been proposed to explain the multiplicity of acetylcarnitine activities within nervous tissues. In particular, it has been demonstrated that acetylcarnitine modulates the activity of nerve growth factor (NGF) and enhances the expression of NGF receptors in striatum/hippocampus during development (PMID: 29267192). Moreover, acetylcarnitine modulates different neurotransmitter systems, including the GABAergic, dopaminergic, and cholinergic system by increasing acetyl-CoA content and choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) activity. This may play an important role in counteracting various neurodegenerative disease processes (PMID: 15363640).
N-Lactoylleucine
N-Lactoylleucine is a lactoyl derivative of phenylalanine. N-Lactoyl-amino acids are ubiquitous pseudodipeptides of lactic acid and amino acids that are rapidly formed by reverse proteolysis. A protease, cytosolic nonspecific dipeptidase 2 (CNDP2), catalyzes their formation. The plasma levels of these metabolites strongly correlate with plasma levels of lactate and amino acid (PMID: 25964343).
1-Carboxyethylleucine
1-Carboxyethylleucine belongs to the class of organic compounds known as leucine and derivatives. Leucine and derivatives are compounds containing leucine or a derivative thereof resulting from a reaction of leucine at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. 1-Carboxyethylleucine was identified as one of forty plasma metabolites that could be used to predict gut microbiome Shannon diversity (PMID: 31477923). Shannon diversity is a metric that summarizes both species abundance and evenness, and it has been suggested as a marker for microbiome health.
Acetyl-D-carnitine
Acetyl-D-carnitine is an acylcarnitine. More specifically, it is an acetic acid ester of carnitine. Acylcarnitines were first discovered more than 70 year ago (PMID: 13825279). It is believed that there are more than 1000 types of acylcarnitines in the human body. The general role of acylcarnitines is to transport acyl-groups (organic acids and fatty acids) from the cytoplasm into the mitochondria so that they can be broken down to produce energy. This process is known as beta-oxidation. According to a recent review [Dambrova et al. 2021, Physiological Reviews], acylcarnitines (ACs) can be classified into 9 different categories depending on the type and size of their acyl-group: 1) short-chain ACs; 2) medium-chain ACs; 3) long-chain ACs; 4) very long-chain ACs; 5) hydroxy ACs; 6) branched chain ACs; 7) unsaturated ACs; 8) dicarboxylic ACs and 9) miscellaneous ACs. Short-chain ACs have acyl-groups with two to five carbons (C2-C5), medium-chain ACs have acyl-groups with six to thirteen carbons (C6-C13), long-chain ACs have acyl-groups with fourteen to twenty once carbons (C14-C21) and very long-chain ACs have acyl groups with more than 22 carbons. Acetyl-D-carnitine is therefore classified as a long chain AC. As a long-chain acylcarnitine Acetyl-D-carnitine is generally formed through esterification with long-chain fatty acids obtained from the diet. The main function of most long-chain acylcarnitines is to ensure long chain fatty acid transport into the mitochondria (PMID: 22804748). Altered levels of long-chain acylcarnitines can serve as useful markers for inherited disorders of long-chain fatty acid metabolism. In particular Acetyl-D-carnitine is elevated in the blood or plasma of individuals with very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (PMID: 9034211), colorectal cancer (PMID: 25105552), short-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (PMID: 11489939), paclitaxel induced neuropathy (PMID: 29946863), type 2 diabetes Mellitus (PMID: 28726959; PMID: 25964024, PMID: 28726959, PMID: 19369366, PMID: 24358186), chronic heart failure (PMID: 22622056), ornithine transcarbamylase (PMID: 3346778), pre-diabetes (PMID: 23010998, PMID: 24358186), type 1 diabetes mellitus (PMID: 16789638), methylmalonic acidemia (PMID: 8214594), myeloma (PMID: 30096165), and diastolic heart failure (PMID: 26010610). It is also decreased in the blood or plasma of individuals with 3-methyl-crotonyl-glycinuria (PMID: 25732994), antiviral drug induced neuropathy (PMID: 9030365, PMID: 11364244), Alzheimer Disease (PMID: 27196316), major depressive disorder (PMID: 30061399), carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 deficiency (PMID: 20543534), Familial Mediterranean Fever (PMID: 29900937), chronic fatigue syndrome (PMID: 9854142), methylmalonic acidemia (PMID: 15164354), hepatocellular carcinoma (PMID: 26976432, PMID: 31662827), and coronary artery disease (PMID: 20173117). Acetyl-D-carnitine is elevated in the urine of individuals with colorectal cancer (25105552), uterine fibroids (32590215), heart failure (8070147), diabetes mellitus (10221661), and hepatocellular carcinoma (24923488). It is also decreased in the urine of individuals with carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 deficiency (20543534). Carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT I, EC:2.3.1.21) is involved in the synthesis of long-chain acylcarnitines (more than C12) on the mitochondrial outer membrane. Elevated serum/plasma levels of long-chain acylcarnitines are not only markers for incomplete FA oxidation but also are indicators of altered carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. High serum concentrations of long-chain acylcarnitines in the postprandial or fed state are markers of insulin resistance and arise from insulins inability to inhibit CPT-1-dependent fatty acid metabolism in muscles and the heart (PMID: 19073774). Increased intracellular content of long-chain acylcarnitines is thought to serve as a feedback inhibition mechanism of insulin action (PMID: 23258903). In healthy subjects, incre...
