Literature data indicate L-carnitine (LC), a trans-mitochondrial carrier of acetyl and long chain groups, as an agent possessing protective effects against oxidative stress in mammalian cells. However, the major factor involved in the protective mechanism is not known.
The protective effect of LC on treated PBLs was measured by single cell gel electrophoresis and the analysis of chromosomal aberrations. Results show that LC treated cells exhibited a significant decrease in the number of oxidative induced single-strand breaks and chromosomal aberrations. |
