Postmenopausal bone loss is a major public health concern. Although drug therapies are
available, women are interested in alternative/adjunct therapies to slow down the bone loss
associated with ovarian hormone deficiency. The purpose of this study was to determine
whether dietary supplementation of l-carnitine can influence bone density and slow the rate
of bone turnover in an aging ovariectomized rat model. Eighteen-month-old Fisher-344
female rats were ovariectomized and assigned to two groups:(1) a control group in which …
