A metabolomic study of red and processed meat intake and acylcarnitine concentrations in human urine and blood

Acylcarnitines (ACs) play a major role in fatty acid metabolism and are potential markers of metabolic dysfunction with higher blood concentrations reported in obese and diabetic individuals. Diet, and in particular red and processed meat intake, has been shown to influence AC concentrations but data on the effect of meat consumption on AC concentrations is limited. To investigate the effect of red and processed meat intake on AC concentrations...
