It critically evaluates the translational gap between mechanistic insights and clinical applications, highlighting the lack of robust human trial data
Almost 60% of subjects responded to treatment, and 13 responders were enrolled into a double-blind, placebo-controlled extension where they received either NAC, at the highest dose they had received in the open-label part of the study, or placebo
Carnitine concentration determination After the feeding trial, the whole liver and parts of muscle of 4 fishes collected from each group were weighted and homogenized by pure-water (1:10, w/v) by using a drill-driven Teflon glass homogenizer (Scientz Biotec, China) with 34 strokes
