TASK: Your task is to answer biomedical questions using the given abstract. Only output yes, no, or maybe as answer.
INPUT: ['Ten children receiving pivampicillin for 8 days were studied. On the first 4 days the drug was given alone (4 x 500 mg/day), and on the last 4 days in combination with carnitine (4 x 1 g/day). Pivampicillin treatment was associated with formation and urinary excretion of pivaloylcarnitine and administration of carnitine aided the elimination of pivalate as its carnitine ester. The resting respiratory quotient increased from 0.86 +/- 0.01 to 0.96 +/- 0.01 on the 4th day of pivampicillin treatment. A shift was observed in the metabolic fuel consumption: a significant decrease was found in the amount of fats oxidized (0.31 +/- 0.17 vs 1.27 +/- 0.17 g x kg[-1] x 24 h[-1]). while the utilization of carbohydrates increased (6.20 +/- 0.51 vs 4.00 +/- 0.50 g kg[-1] x 24 h[-1]). Administration of carnitine decreased the respiratory quotient to 0.90 +/- 0.01 on the 8th day of treatment, consumption of fats increased, and the oxidation of carbohydrates decreased. The resting energy expenditure was not affected by the treatment.'] Does carnitine administration ameliorate the changes in energy metabolism caused by short-term pivampicillin medication?
OUTPUT:

agent
yes
