Citable Takeaways Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) is the primary enzyme responsible for neutralising hydrogen peroxide generated during thyroid hormone synthesis, and its activity depends on adequate selenium status (Schomburg, 2011
For example, the SPARC level increased in the skeletal muscles of young male subjects after 11 weeks of a strength-training program [21], and it transiently increased in the serum of young healthy men immediately after a single bout of cycling [22]

Therefore, in addition to L-carnitine for mitochondrial fatty acid transport, ALCAR provides acetyl-CoA that can be used for brain lipid synthesis, be oxidized in the citric acid cycle for energy production, or be incorporated into neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine [3639].* ALCAR has shown several benefits for brain health: it supported brain energy metabolism, brain mitochondrial function, neuronal membrane lipid/phospholipid metabolism, synaptic plasticity, and neuroprotective functions [4056]
