l-carnitine deficiency due to a defect in the carnitine transporter OCTN2 (SLC22A5) in a mouse model leads to embryonic lethality. Placental levels of l-carnitine are reduced to <10% of normal and deficiency of l-carnitine is associated with markedly reduced expression of several growth factors and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) genes. | Embryonic lethality in mice due to carnitine transporter OCTN2 defect and placental carnitine deficiency.

Acute and chronic administration of clozapine to mice resulted in 2-3-fold greater renal excretion of L-carnitine (L-Car) than in the vehicle group. Concomitantly, mRNA and protein levels of mOctn2 in the kidney were markedly down regulated. These results indicate that clozapine-induced reduction of L-Car reabsorption via inhibition/down-regulation of renal Octn2 contributes to liver lipid metabolic disorder. | Clozapine-induced reduction of l-carnitine reabsorption via inhibition/down-regulation of renal carnitine/organic cation transporter 2 contributes to liver lipid metabolic disorder in mice.
