Carnitine Supplementation and Skeletal Muscle Function

Sarcopenia Clinical Trial

Official title:
Carnitine Supplementation and Skeletal Muscle Function in Aging

Clinical Trial Summary

Research project objectives The primary aim of the current research project is to use carnitine supplementation as the anti-inflammatory intervention for exploring the relationship between inflammation and associated with aging reduction of skeletal muscle mass.

Hypothesis The carnitine supplementation modulates the blood cytokines concentration. Anti-inflammatory intervention delay the reduction of skeletal muscle mass associated with aging

Clinical Trial Description

Volunteers over 65 years old (n=40) are supplemented either with carnitine or placebo for 24 weeks. Before the start, in the mid-point, and after finishing the supplementation the following primary outputs variables are performed: body composition analysis (InBody720), maximal isokinetic knee extensor peak torque (Biodex System 4 Pro), blood cytokines and carnitine concentration, blood lipid profile. ;
