NCIt synonyms : Medium-Chain to Long-Chain Acylcarnitine Ratio; Medium-Chain to Long-Chain Acylcarnitine Ratio Measurement;
NCIt definition : The determination of the ratio of medium-chain acylcarnitines (acyl groups with 6
to 12 carbon atoms) to long-chain acylcarnitines (acyl groups with 13 to 20 carbon
atoms) present in a sample. The measurement may be expressed as a ratio or percentage.;
NCIt note : Dambrova, M, et. al. (Pharmacol Rev. 2022;74:506-551. doi: 10.1124/pharmrev.121.000408.)
suggest that acylcarnitines can be divided into four groups based on the number of
carbon atoms: short-chain (C2-C5), medium-chain (C6-C12), long-chain (C13-C20) and
very long-chain (C21 or greater) acylcarnitines.;
