title: Rhythm of carnitine levels in serum and urine of normal subjects.
abstract: A study of the diurnal serum and urine levels of L-carnitine and acetylcarnitine was carried out in eleven healthy volunteers. No significant difference was found between the levels in the morning and in the afternoon, although a higher carnitinaemia was shown in the waking hours when the energy demands were higher.
