What Histological Techniques are Used to Study Carnitine?
Histological examination of carnitine can be performed using various techniques, including immunohistochemistry and enzyme histochemistry. Immunohistochemistry involves the use of antibodies specific to carnitine or its associated proteins to visualize its distribution in tissues. Enzyme histochemistry can be used to assess the activity of enzymes involved in the carnitine shuttle, such as CPT1 and CPT2.
