Carnitine

Carnitine (also known as L-Carnitine, or as the acylated form Acetyl-L-Carnitine) transports long-chain acyl groups from fatty acids into the mitochondrial matrix so that they can be broken down through β-oxidation to acetyl CoA to generate energy in the Citric Acid Cycle.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Studies have found reduced levels of serum carnitine which return to normal after recovery and correlate with symptom severity.
