[Effect of carnitine on energy processes in the myocardium of rats].

Experiments on white male rats with novodrine-induced heart necrosis have shown that carnitine chloride increases the conjugation of respiration and phosphorylation in heart mitochondria of intact rats. The prophylactic and therapeutic application of the drug has a beneficial effect on energy formation in the myocardium. It is advisable to use carnitine for energodynamic heart insufficiency.
