- Abstract
l-Carnitine can alleviate uraemic anaemia in haemodialysis patients by improving erythrocyte membrane functions or erythropoiesis, which are depressed under uraemic conditions. l-Carnitine and palmitoyl-l-carnitine were reported to increase the formation of colony-forming unit-erythroid (CFU-E) colonies in cultures of fetal mouse liver cells, an effect that depended on the concentration of palmitoyl-l-carnitine but not of l-carnitine. In this study, we investigated l-carnitine's effect on CFU-E colony formation in cell cultures of mouse bone marrow cells.
