Description
A medium-chain acylcarnitine; decreases the oxidation rate of 3-methyl-2-butanoate and 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate in isolated rat muscle mitochondria in the presence of carnitine, but increases it in the absence of carnitine; with malate, has been used as a mitochondrial respiration substrate along with malate to measure the effect of creatine on the respiration rate of isolated rat cardiac fibers exposed to increasing concentrations of ADP
