Leukotrienes, one of the mediators of inflammation in asthma, have a

strong bronchoconstrictive effect.

L-carnitine has been reported to influence respiratory functions.

It has also been reported that L-carnitine inhibits leukotriene

synthesis.

In conclusion, L-carnitine improved oxygen saturation, and decreased

urine leukotriene E4 levels and inflammation in lung tissues in the

present murine model of asthma.
