In the study conducted by Nachvak et al., L-carnitine supplementation significantly increased serum total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and significantly reduced levels of myeloperoxidase (MPO), nitrotyrosine (NT), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) compared to the placebo group
The supernatants were collected for further protein quantification using BCA protein assay kit after centrifugation at 12,000 g at 4C for 15 minutes
Temperature excursions of 59F to 86F(15C to 30C) are permitted
Because maximizing blood concentrations of vitamin C may be important in protecting against oxidative damage to cells and biological molecules, a vitamin C intake of at least 400 mg daily might benefit older adults who are at higher risk for chronic diseases caused, in part, by oxidative damage, such as heart disease, stroke, certain cancers, and cataract
