The effect of L-carnitine and some of its acyl derivatives on serum TNF production and lethality in a murine experimental endotoxin shock model was investigated. In some instances, serum IL-6 production was also evaluated. In this experimental model, C57BL/6 mice received 30 mg/kg LPS (E. cell 055:B...
