Low availability of carnitine precursors as a possible reason for the diminished plasma carnitine concentrations in pregnant women

BACKGROUND: It has been shown that plasma carnitine concentrations decrease markedly during gestation. A recent study performed with a low number of subjects suggested that this effect could be due to a low iron status which leads to an impairment of carnitine synthesis. The present study aimed to c...
