Acetylcarnitine And Cardiolipin

[High_Prob]

I already posted about the below study in a different thread on this forum - 'L-Carnitine is Anti-thyroid' - but then decided that it should probably be its own thread.

This study states Acetylcarnitine restores Cardiolipin. I realize that ALCAR and Carnitine have negative effects on the thyroid but I just wanted you guys to pick apart this study and give your opinions:

Acetyl-l-carnitine fed to old rats partially restores mitochondrial function and ambulatory activity

This study was the creation of a whole supplement company, Juvenon.

Actually it was in a later study Feeding acetyl-L-carnitine and lipoic acid to old rats significantly improves metabolic function while decreasing oxidative stress. - PubMed - NCBI, when they added alpha lipoic acid that launched their first supplement. Apparently the ala cleaned up the free radicals the alc caused. As I recall the combo didn't increase life expectancy.
