| Description | (±)-Propionylcarnitine chloride (Propionyl-DL-carnitine chloride) is a mixture of short-chain acylcarnitines used as a dietary supplement for the study of chronic diabetes. |
| In vivo | 在成年同龄雄性 C57BL/6 小鼠中，(±)-Propionylcarnitine chloride（2 mM/kg；口服灌胃；每天2 mM/kg，持续4周）能够增加小鼠血浆和尿液中的总肉碱浓度，但对小鼠骨骼肌中的肉碱含量没有影响。 |
