Carnitine in Alcohol Use Disorders: A Scoping Review.

CONCLUSIONS: The increase in plasma carnitine in alcoholic cirrhosis may be related to disordered fatty acid metabolism and oxidative stress that occurs in AUD. The multiple possible therapeutic effects carnitine could have for ethanol metabolism and the early evidence available for carnitine supplementation as a treatment for AUDs provide a foundation for future randomized control trials for the use of carnitine in AUD.
