Carnitine concentrations in the milk of different species and infant formulas. Carnitine concentrations were measured in the milk of sheep, cows, goats, and horses, in human milk of term and preterm infants and in European infant formulas. There were significant species' differences in carnitine milk content. Acylcarnitine concentrations ranged from 13 to 47% of total carnitine. This may be related to differences in maternal and/or mammary gland metabolism. The concentration of long-chain acylcarnitine in milk was under 1% in all investigated species. In cow's milk, there was a decrease in acylcarnitine concentration during the first 2 months of lactation. In human milk,...
