    • Abstract:
      It is widely known that a number of chronic neurodegenerative disorders are related with dysfunctional mitochondria. Although it has been proposed that Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC) confers neuroprotection through mitochondria viability improvement, little is known concerning the molecular mechanisms involved. We propose to characterize the action of ALC in mitochondria bioenergetics and functional integrity.
