In preclinical models, acetyl-L-carnitine reduced brain oxidative damage markers including malondialdehyde, oxidized nucleotides, and nitrotyrosine, while L-carnitine at equivalent doses did not, despite both similarly elevating tissue carnitine levels and improving ambulatory activity.[1] Acetyl-L-carnitines superior CNS effects likely reflect its ability to donate acetyl groups for energy production, neurotransmitter synthesis, and direct antioxidant activity.[2][3] For systemic inflammation, L-carnitine demonstrates clear clinical efficacy
