肉毒硷是将线粒体内膜外侧的长链脂肪酸转运到线粒体基质进行β-氧化的主要媒介.它广泛分布于肾脏、肝脏、心脏、骨骼肌、尿液和精液中.最近Borum等报道,大鼠和人的全血中的肉毒硷大约20～30%存在于红细胞中.此结果引起了本文作者在多形核白细胞(PMN)和单核细胞(MNC) Carnitine is a major mediator of beta-oxidation by transporting long chain fatty acids outside the mitochondrial inner membrane to the mitochondrial matrix and is widely distributed in the kidney, liver, heart, skeletal muscle, urine and semen. Recently Borum et al reported that large Approximately 20-30% of the carnitine in murine and human whole blood is present in erythrocytes This result led to the authors’ finding in polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) and monocytes (MNCs)
