L-carnitine (β-OH-γ-N, N, N-trimethylaminobutyric acid) is a small compound that is synthesized in supplementation with moderate concentrations of L-carnitine can be beneficial for increasing growth rate vivo from lysine and methionine with the assistance of and decreasing body lipid content in some species such as vitamin C and other secondary substrates generated in African catfish, Clarias gariepinus (Ozório et al, 2001), the body (Harpaz, 2005)
A growth-enhancing effect of the appropriate levels of L-carnitine supplementation was found in softshelled turtles, which is in agreement with results obtained in some marine and freshwater species (Becker et al, 1999; Chatzifotis et al, 1995; Ma et al, 2008; Santulli and d’Amelio, 1986; Torreele et al, 1993)
Summary
L-carnitine (β-OH-γ-N, N, N-trimethylaminobutyric acid) is a small compound that is synthesized in supplementation with moderate concentrations of L-carnitine can be beneficial for increasing growth rate vivo from lysine and methionine with the assistance of and decreasing body lipid content in some species such as vitamin C and other secondary substrates generated in African catfish, Clarias gariepinus (Ozório et al, 2001), the body (Harpaz, 2005). The present study is designed to evaluate the effects of dietary L-carnitine supplementation on growth performance, muscle composition and serum total cholesterol (TCHO), triglyceride (TG) and total protein (TP) concentrations of soft-shelled turtle. The mRNA levels of genes in liver including insulin-like growth factor 1 (igf1), superoxide dismutase 1 (sod1) and lipoprotein lipase (lpl) were examined by quantitative realtime PCR
