Caption

Statistically significant P values are marked with bold. The ratio of C0/(C16+C18) is calculated as a CPT1 activity marker, where free carnitine (C0) is a substrate of CPT1 and C16+C18 is the sum of long-chain acylcarnitines that are products of CPT1. Decreases in CPT1 activity lead to decreased CPT1 product (C16+C18), denominator, resulting in the increase of the ratio.
