摘要
Certain kinds of N-methylated compounds proved to be essential for animals. L-Carnitine is a small-molecular-weight quaternary amine which occurs naturally in micro-organisms, plants and animals. Generally, plants contain little carnitine compared to animals where especially high levels may be found in heart and skeletal muscle.
