Enterohepatic Distribution of Carnitine in Developing Piglets: Relation to Glucagon and Insulin

Abstract: ABSTRACT. ~Xarnitine plays a crucial role in the perinatal transition from carbohydrate to lipid-derived energy. To examine the potential contribution of assimilated dietary carnitine to the elevated hepatic concentrations in newborns, we measured carnitine concentrations in sow milk, jejunum, and liver, and in vitro jejunal carnitine transport in piglets aged 1-36 d. Hepatic and sow milk total carnitine concentrations peaked soon after birth and declined with age ( p = 0.035 and 0.026, respectively).Although … Show more
