L-carnitine and PPARα-agonist fenofibrate are involved in the regulation of Carnitine Acetyltransferase (CrAT) mRNA levels in murine liver cells

Table 2 Intracellular L-carnitine Levels

	Intracellular L-carnitine concentration (μM)	SD	p-value
(A) TIB73 in DMEM + 10%FCS	973	±52	-
(B) TIB73 in DMEM + dia.FCS	265	±51	p < 0.001
(C)TIB73 in DMEM + dia.FCS +80 μM L-carnitine	711	±72	p < 0.001

Measurements of intracellular L-carnitine concentrations of TIB73 cells under physiological conditions (A), L-carnitine deficiency (B) and supplementation (C). For statistical analysis conditions A and B were compared as well as conditions B and C.
(Values represent means, n = 3; (A) vs. (B) p < 0.001 and (B) vs. (C) p < 0.001).
