Oleoyl-L-carnitine is a compound that combines the long-chain fatty acid oleic acid with L-carnitine, a molecule involved in the transport of fatty acids into mitochondria for energy production. This conjugation enhances the lipid-soluble properties of L-carnitine, facilitating the efficient transport and metabolism of fatty acids. Oleoyl-L-carnitine is studied for its potential benefits in improving energy metabolism and is of interest in research related to cardiovascular health, weight management, and mitochondrial disorders.
