| Application: | Octanoyl-L-carnitine may be used as an analytical standard in the following: • Separation and identification of underivatized octanoyl-L-carnitine in human plasma samples using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). • Quantification of the analyte in biological samples of patients treated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) or automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) using high-performance liquid chromatography/tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry (HPLC-TQMS). The feasibility of adding L-carnitine to the peritoneal dialysis (PD) solution in APD-treated end-stage renal disease patients is investigated. It may be used as a test material for investigating its rate of oxidation by mitochondria, isolated from the livers of fed, starved and glucagon treated virgin and lactating rats. |
| General description: | Octanoyl-L-carnitine is a medium-chain endogenous ester of L-carnitine, obtained via acylcarnitine family transferase. |
