    Default Carnitine + Less Eating = Improved Insulin Sensitivity

    Just came across this study. Easy to do a self experiment and see if
    it works.

    Caloric restriction and L-carnitine administration improves insulin
    sensitivity in patients with impaired glucose metabolism.

    JPEN J Parenter Enteral Nutr. 2010 May-Jun;34(3):295-9.
    PMID: 20467011

    Abstract

    Background: Reduced circulating and tissue carnitine levels, possibly
    leading to impaired mitochondrial function, have been postulated to
    be
    involved in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance. However, whether
    L-carnitine administration may improve insulin sensitivity in patients
    with
    impaired fasting glucose (IFG) or type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM-2) is
    still
    controversial. The aim of the study was to explore the role of L-
    carnitine
    supplementation in influencing insulin sensitivity.

    Methods: A randomized controlled study involving adult outpatients
    was
    designed. Adult patients referred to the outpatient clinic and within
    10
    days of the diagnosis of IFG or DM-2 were consecutively enrolled.
    Exclusion
    criteria were concomitant antidiabetic therapy and modifications of
    lifestyle during the previous 4 weeks. Patients were randomly assigned
    to
    receive a hypocaloric diet for 10 days (group C; n = 8) or the same
    dietetic
    regimen in addition to oral L-carnitine (2 g twice daily)
    supplementation
    (group LC; n = 8). Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), fasting plasma
    insulin levels, and homeostasis model assessment of insulin
    resistance
    (HOMA-IR) were assessed at the beginning and end of the study. Data
    were
    statistically analyzed using the Student t test for paired and
    unpaired
    data.

    Results: OGTT at 2 hours improved in both groups. Only in the
    L-carnitine-supplemented group did plasma insulin levels and HOMA-IR
    significantly decrease when compared to baseline values.

    Conclusions: Considering the role of caloric restriction in increasing
    the
    intestinal uptake of carnitine, the results suggest that oral L-
    carnitine
    administration, when associated with a hypocaloric feeding regimen,
    improves
    insulin resistance and may represent an adjunctive treatment for IFG
    and
    DM-2.

    very useful, thanks Randy
    there is a lot on the effect of carnitine, or the more bio available acetyl
    carnitine, on insulin action. But also on diabetic neuropathy. Used it
    myself, eventually stopped all sup's because I got worried about the purity
    issues.

    Here is a free review :
    http://www.nutritionandmetabolism.co...-7075-7-30.pdf
    Nutr Metab (Lond). 2010 Apr 16;7:30.
    Role of carnitine in disease.

    Abstract
    ABSTRACT: Carnitine is a conditionally essential nutrient that plays a vital
    role in energy production and fatty acid metabolism. Vegetarians possess a
    greater bioavailability than meat eaters. Distinct deficiencies arise either
    from genetic mutation of carnitine transporters or in association with other
    disorders such as liver or kidney disease. Carnitine deficiency occurs in
    aberrations of carnitine regulation in disorders such as diabetes, sepsis,
    cardiomyopathy, malnutrition, cirrhosis, endocrine disorders and with aging.
    Nutritional supplementation of L-carnitine, the biologically active form of
    carnitine, is ameliorative for uremic patients, and can improve nerve
    conduction, neuropathic pain and immune function in diabetes patients while
    it is life-saving for patients suffering primary carnitine deficiency.
    Clinical application of carnitine holds much promise in a range of neural
    disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, hepatic encephalopathy and other
    painful neuropathies. Topical application in dry eye offers osmoprotection
    and modulates immune and inflammatory responses. Carnitine has been
    recognized as a nutritional supplement in cardiovascular disease and there
    is increasing evidence that carnitine supplementation may be beneficial in
    treating obesity, improving glucose intolerance and total energy
    expenditure.

    Thank you Randy!
    I'm going to ask my doc to see if she'll write for l-carnitine for me.

    I (most days <g>) have the calories right now by not being as hungry
    with lots of veggies and protein but most of the veggies are canned and
    have lost some nutrients in the processing. I'll post later how I make
    out.
    Cheers, Jane

    Well, as I mentioned, I feel I have that under control with the fairly
    constant 1500-1600 calories daily I'm eating ...chicken, turkey and fish
    more than beef, vegetables and soups.
    I'm only counting carbs now because I know calorie counts pretty well
    ... with keeping carbs around 60 I don't have the awful hunger pangs.
    ..
    Or maybe it was a joke ...(?) Dunno. I have 'free' room & board here but
    everything else I get comes out of my $45 a month stipend. So no, I
    can't get all the supplements I would like to so I find out which ones
    my doc feels would do me the most good and she orders them through my
    insurance if she can.
    ..
    I hope that made sense!
    Cheers, Jane

    We must quantify food to really eat the right amount (32 oz) per day.

    The only reliable repeatable way of quantifying food is by weighing
    it.

    Yes, amount control as Chris Malcolm is doing is much more
    sophisticated and smarter:

    "A 2005 visit to an Atlanta cardiologist by the name of Andrew Chung
    put me on some serious reality

    I wasnt just chubby or husky, I am what they often call morbidly
    obese. He explained that morbid obesity simply means that if something
    happened to me that could be attiributed to weight and I were to end
    up in the not breathing state

    ok some call it DEAD

    that a doctor could simply dismiss it as natural causes related to
    weight more or less.

    Ive been told I was a chunky fella a couple times, maybe even fat...
    but not quite that harshly. Definitely made me think about a few
    things, as much as I dislike scare tactics when it comes to health.

    Well in the midst of the shock treatment, he also had me come to a
    heart wellness seminar that he does on some Saturdays in Mableton.

    Nice little get together, he has folks from the community come in and
    discuss Tai Chi, exercises, testimonials, all kinds of good stuff.

    Then he shows the movie SUPERSIZE ME to set up the pitch for his 2PD
    Omer approach that he has his patients use to lose weight.

    In a nutshell, in his view, HOW MUCH you eat is more of the issue than
    WHAT you eat and portion is more important than any fat content or
    calories.

    I agree with this. This is why I have always been more successful on
    more liquid diets (cabbage soup, slimfast, herbalife (tho dangerous))
    than anything else. I wasnt eating the portions I was before that..."

    Anyone doing that risks death or grave sickness. Chung is insane.

    For people with questions about dieting or nutrition, please consult a
    professional dietitian.

    Chung is a quack and should be ignored.

    "A 2005 visit to an Atlanta cardiologist by the name of Andrew Chung
    put me on some serious reality

    I wasnt just chubby or husky, I am what they often call morbidly
    obese. He explained that morbid obesity simply means that if something
    happened to me that could be attiributed to weight and I were to end
    up in the not breathing state

    ok some call it DEAD

    that a doctor could simply dismiss it as natural causes related to
    weight more or less.

    Ive been told I was a chunky fella a couple times, maybe even fat...
    but not quite that harshly. Definitely made me think about a few
    things, as much as I dislike scare tactics when it comes to health.

    Well in the midst of the shock treatment, he also had me come to a
    heart wellness seminar that he does on some Saturdays in Mableton.

    Nice little get together, he has folks from the community come in and
    discuss Tai Chi, exercises, testimonials, all kinds of good stuff.

    Then he shows the movie SUPERSIZE ME to set up the pitch for his 2PD
    Omer approach that he has his patients use to lose weight.

    In a nutshell, in his view, HOW MUCH you eat is more of the issue than
    WHAT you eat and portion is more important than any fat content or
    calories.

    I agree with this. This is why I have always been more successful on
    more liquid diets (cabbage soup, slimfast, herbalife (tho dangerous))
    than anything else. I wasnt eating the portions I was before that..."

    Hi Chris,
    L-Carnitine Improves Glucose Disposal in Type 2 .... BUT

    L-Carnitine is involved in the transport of FATTY ACIDS across menbranes.
    L-Carnitine is in the fat metabolism, NOT in the carbohydrate metabolism.
    Yet it improves glucose proposal.

    Handeling T2 involves much more than low carb

    My experience is that your not in calorie restriction if you not
    hungry alot of the time. I wish this wasn't so because consistent
    calorie restriction is hands down the best cure all for all physical
    woes. Nothing comes close, incuding exericise and whatever kind of
    full calorie diet your attached to.
