초록

The purpose of this study was to offer experimental data about the effects of 4 weeks of carnitine supplementation and aerobic exercise on lipoprotein and metabolic indices. 11 college females were randomly assigned to one of two groups, i.e., Group I(n=4): placebo(180mg/day); Group II(n=7): carnitine(1.8g/day) with aerobic exercise for 4 weeks. For aerobic exercise, they performed treadmill exercise(3-5d/w, 20-30min/d). The SPSS was used to analyze the results of the experiment, and Analysis of Covariance(ANCOVA) was used. There were no group differences in TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, TG, leptin, FFA, and glucose. In conclusion, carnitine supplimentation and performing exercise were not significantly correlated with changes of lipoprotein and metabolic indices. For precise experiment of carnitine effects on college females, the previous individual activity, life style, and other factors should be considered in setting up the intensity and duration of exercise.
