The effect of long-term L-carnitine supplementation and endurance training on blood lipid profile and plasma levels of lipoprotein lipase

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of long-term L-carnitine supplementation and endurance training on the blood lipid profile and plasma levels of lipoprotein lipase. In this semi experimental study, 20 non-athlete students randomly divided into two groups of supplementation (n = 10, mean age 20.1±0.9 years, weight 74.2±2.5 kg, height 176.1±4.8cm) and placebo (n = 10, mean age 20.1±0.6 years, weight 67.7±4.6 kg, height 177.7±4.6cm), respectively. HDL, total cholesterol (TC), LDL, VLDL, lipoprotein lipase, RF and body fat percentage evaluated for a period of six weeks and 3 days a week. of training according to the principle of overload. The intensity training 65-75% Maximum heart rate each subjects. During this period the group supplementation used 13mg of L-Carnitine per each kilogram of body weight and the group placebo used just 3 mg of starch per each kilogram of their body weight. The two groups were studied before and after training for TG, TC, HDL, LDL, VLDL, RF as well as lipoprotein lipase. The data analyzed using SPSS-20 and independent and dependent T student test. Our findings showed a significant increase in HDL (P
