title: A pharmacological profile of the effects of carnitine and acetyl carnitine on the central nervous system.
abstract: In this pharmacological study the authors give an extensive review of existing literature regarding the activity of carnitine and acetyl carnitine on the central nervous system. Carnitine and acetyl carnitine enter the neuro-biochemical patterns in the endoneuronal system, and affect neurotransmission in synapsis.
