While I never had my carnitine levels tested, I felt so much better after eating my burgers After having my son, I stopped eating my burger-enriched diet
While elevated plasma concentrations of L-carnitine are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular incidentssuch as heart attack, stroke, and deathindependent of traditional CVD risk factors, this appears to only be true when TMAO is also elevated.6 Proposed mechanisms include effects on cholesterol, the hormone angiotensin IIwhich can raise blood pressure, and increased platelet clumping, possibly leading to blood clots.7.8 A 2020 cross-sectional study using data from 1,653 participants in the Multiethnic Cohort Study identified several associations of plasma levels of TMAO and its precursors, including carnitine, with inflammatory and cardiometabolic biomarkers
However, concomitant with the substantial promise of nanomaterials in ocular anti-inflammatory drug therapy, it is vital to remain attentive to potential safety concerns and adverse effects
