Abstract in brief

  • The study tested whether L-Carnitine (LC) supplements combined with aerobic walking help with weight loss in moderately obese women and found no significant effect on body mass, fat mass, or metabolism after 8 weeks.
  • Participants taking LC experienced some side effects like nausea and diarrhea, leading to some dropping out, but these did not impact the overall results.
  • Overall, the results suggest that LC supplements do not promote weight loss or fat reduction when combined with exercise in this group, indicating limited effectiveness for weight management.]
