Plasma medium- and long-chain acylcarnitines

Older age is associated with plasma medium- and long-chain acylcarnitines in humans.

“AC species (C10, C10:1, C12:1, C14, C16, C16:1, C18) remained elevated in aged individuals compared to their younger counterparts indicating a lag in responsiveness.”
