Dietary L-carnitine improves glycogen and protein accumulation in Nile tilapia via increasing lipid-sourced energy supply: An isotope-based metabolic tracking

L-carnitine is a functional aquafeed additive for enhancing lipid catabolism by elevating mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation and modulating energy metabolism to provide a “protein sparing effect”. However, results on the effects of dietary l-carnitine on nutrient metabolism in fish are still confl...
