[Effect of l-carnitine on the expression of glycine conjugates in rats in experimental B2-hypovitaminosis].

The dynamic of glycine conjugates excretion in riboflavin deficient (RFD) rats was studied. The excretion of isovaleryl-, n-butyryl-, isobutyryl-,2-Me-butyryl- and hexanoylglycines by the RFD rats considerably increased from 1 week of the experiment and reached a plateau after 5 week. Under L-carnitine supplementation the acylglycines (isobutyryl- and isovaleryl) as well as some organic acids excretion was diminished.
