title: [The action of carnitine-series preparations in experimental alloxan diabetes mellitus].
abstract: The study was undertaken to examine the effects of l-carnitine and acetyl-l-carnitine in rats and mice with experimental alloxan diabetes. The findings suggest that acetyl-l-carnitine is more effective against diabetes in increasing glucose tolerance, restoring the impaired response of glucagon to glucose, showing glycogen-sparing action than is l-carnitine.
