The reader will find a review of the biochemical and physiological bases of L-carnitine, from its discovery in 1905 to its role in transporting fatty acids to the mitochondria. The book explores how this quaternary amine, synthesized from lysine and methionine, can influence cardiovascular health, providing a clinical and scientific perspective for professionals and students in the field of internal medicine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book addresses arterial hypertension from the perspective of the biochemical role of L-carnitine. It begins with a historical overview of the discovery of levocarnitine by Krimberg and Gulewitsch in 1905, and its subsequent characterization in the 1950s as a key intermediate in energy metabolism. The chemical structure of L-carnitine is explained, described as 3-hydroxy-4-trimethylaminobutyric acid, and its synthesis process from the essential amino acids methionine and lysine, with the involvement of cofactors such as iron, niacin, vitamin C, and vitamin B6. The text focuses on one of its main physiological functions: the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria for oxidation, a fundamental process for cellular energy production. Based on this foundation, it analyzes its potential involvement in the regulation of blood pressure and the treatment of hypertension, offering an integrative vision of biochemistry and clinical practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Topics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBiochemistry of L-carnitine: structure, synthesis, and necessary cofactors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMitochondrial function and fatty acid transport.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelationship between energy metabolism and arterial hypertension.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eClinical applications of L-carnitine in cardiovascular medicine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at medical professionals, especially specialists in internal medicine, cardiology, and endocrinology, as well as researchers and health science students interested in nutritional biochemistry and its impact on arterial hypertension.
