The importance of ovarian hormones for dendritic spines is evident since the number of dendritic spines in the hippocampal CA1 and medial prefrontal cortex are reduced in OVX rats (Wallace et al., 2006)

Ongoing monitoring and preventive care are essential
Overall and sex-specific associations of genetically predicted l-carnitine with CVD risk factors Overall, genetically predicted higher l-carnitine was associated with higher triglycerides (effect size 0.04, 95% CI 0.02 to 0.05 per SD increase in genetically predicted l-carnitine) (Fig
Additionally, the effects of L-carnitine supplementation may be more pronounced during prolonged submaximal exercise, where fat metabolism is a primary energy source, compared to high-intensity efforts relying on carbohydrates
