L-Carnitine prevents atherosclerosis progressionL-carnitine prevents the progression of atherosclerotic lesions in hypercholesterolaemic rabbits.
We investigated the role of L-carnitine in preventing atherosclerosis progression in rabbits with high cholesterol. By administering a cholesterol-heavy diet, we induced hypercholesterolaemia and provided L-carnitine to observe its effects. The results were promising; L-carnitine completely halted the advancement of serious artery issues. Notably, rabbits receiving D-carnitine showed worsened atherosclerosis. These findings suggest that L-carnitine may play a vital role beyond its known benefits, by potentially counteracting atherogenic processes.

L-carnitine combined effects assessed and Supplementation In Vivo Ameliorates HCD-Induced Steatohepatitis and Dyslipidemia by Regulating Hepatic Metabolism.
This study explored the impact of L-carnitine and leaf extract supplementation on the adverse effects of a high-cholesterol diet in rats.
We found that combining L-carnitine with the leaf extract significantly reduced harmful cholesterol and triglyceride levels while improving liver health markers after eight weeks.
Interestingly, single treatments showed some benefits, but the combination was clearly more effective. Overall, this suggests that L-carnitine can play a valuable role in managing high cholesterol and fatty liver conditions.

Kefir bacteria reduces cholesterol effectivelyDual function of Lactobacillus kefiri DH5 in preventing high-fat-diet-induced obesity: direct reduction of cholesterol and upregulation of PPAR-α in adipose tissue.
We investigated how Lactobacillus kefiri DH5, a bacteria isolated from kefir, can impact cholesterol levels and obesity caused by high-fat diets. After testing its survival in the digestive system, we found it significantly reduced cholesterol by over 51%.
In our experiments with mice, those given L. kefiri DH5 showed marked reductions in body weight, fat tissue, and harmful LDL cholesterol levels compared to those without the treatment.
This suggests that incorporating this strain could be a beneficial dietary option for managing cholesterol and obesity.

Yuja peel improves cholesterol levelsCitrus junos Tanaka peel ameliorates hepatic lipid accumulation in HepG2 cells and in mice fed a high-cholesterol diet.
We investigated how Citrus junos Tanaka peel, known as yuja, affects liver fat and cholesterol levels in lab cells and mice. The study involved feeding mice a high-cholesterol diet and then providing them with different concentrations of yuja peel extract.
Our findings showed that the yuja peel extract significantly reduced liver fat and cholesterol levels in the mice. In fact, those mice receiving yuja had lower body weight and healthier cholesterol profiles compared to those on just a high-cholesterol diet.
This suggests that yuja peel can be a beneficial supplement for those managing high cholesterol.

L-Carnitine reduces cholesterol levelsL-Carnitine supplementation reduces oxidized LDL cholesterol in patients with diabetes.
We examined the impact of L-carnitine on oxidized LDL cholesterol in patients with type 2 diabetes. In our three-month trial, 81 patients were split into two groups, one receiving L-carnitine and the other a placebo.
The results showed that those taking L-carnitine experienced notable reductions in oxidized LDL cholesterol and other key markers, such as triglycerides and LDL cholesterol. This suggests that L-carnitine could be a beneficial treatment for managing cholesterol levels in diabetic patients.
