In this sense, carnitine is essential for normal growth development. Cardiac muscle is especially dependent upon this mechanism as an important source of metabolic energy.
In addition carnitine has a role in the thermogenesis (heat production) of brown adipose tissue, and in the regulation of gluconeogenesis. It is often taken as a supplement by slimmers.
