Abstract
Patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) have an increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes mellitus, which makes it necessary not only to identify, but also to timely correct these conditions. Therapeutic measures in the treatment of patients with MS are directed to the main links of the pathogenesis of the syndrome and its complications: obesity, insulin resistance, violation of carbohydrate metabolism, dyslipidemia and arterial hypertension. Meanwhile, the niche remains for multi-potent drugs, simultaneously affecting several risk factors, united by a single pathogenetic basis. As a possible candidate, L-carnitine can be considered. The review describes cardioprotective, neuroprotective, nephroprotective and hepatoprotective effects of L-carnitine, its favorable effect on carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism is noted, which allows treating the drug as a universal regulator of metabolic processes in the body in patients with MS and its various manifestations.
