Popis: In order to evaluate the protective effects of L-carnitine on ischemic myocardium, its effects on tissue levels of acyl carnitine, acyl coenzyme A (CoA) and high energy phosphate were studied in ischemic dog hearts. Myocardial ischemia was induced by the ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery for 15 minutes. L-carnitine ( 100 mg/kg) was administered intravenously prior to coronary ligation. In ischemic myocardium, tissue levels of free carnitine decreased from 1043 ± 358 to 623 ± 180 n mol/g (p
