Abstract

The present study was performed on rats for studying effect of different concentrations of lysine and methionine in carnitine metabolism in liver and muscle tissues. The animals which fed low concentrations of lysine and methionine showed significant decrease in carnitine metabolism when compared with normal control group. On the other hand the rats supplied with high concentrations of lysine and methionine showed markedly increase in carnitine metabolism. Furthermore, this study clearly appear the role of lysine and methionine concentration in antioxidant status of the body.
