Abstract
The elderly is characterized by a gradual decline in body function, which represents the clinical situation called "frailty". Prefrailty is the intermediate stage between frailty and the robust condition. L-carnitine (LC) plays an important role in energy production from long-chain fatty acids in mitochondria and its serum level is lower in prefrail and frail subjects.File in questo prodotto:
