In overweight subjects, the concentrations of C2 acylcarnitine (AC) and long-chain ACs are positively associated with percent fat and insulin sensitivity.
Practitioners should consider the relationship between acylcarnitine levels and body fat/insulin sensitivity in overweight individuals.

In overweight subjects, the concentrations of C2 AC and long-chain ACs were positively associated with percent fat (R(2) = 0.75, P = 0.0001) and Si (R(2) = 0.12, P = 0.05).

- Serum acylcarnitines increase with caloric restriction alone but not with caloric restriction plus exercise despite similar weight loss.Strong
- A greater improvement in insulin sensitivity with weight loss during caloric restriction plus exercise may be related to improved coupling of β-oxidation and tricarboxylic acid cycle flux induced by exercise.Strong
