DISEASES
Decanoylcarnitine and octanoylcarnitine are members of the class of acylcarnitines with a general role to transport acyl-groups from the cytoplasm into the mitochondria for β-oxidation. Increased or decreased levels of these medium-chain fatty acids are associated with many diseases but without clear mechanistic explanations (Dambrova et al., The downregulation of glycerophospholipid PE-NMe (18:1/18:3) (Table We showed a decrease of theobromine, a methylxanthine alkaloid derivate which is highly presented in cocoa in the VLCHF and VLCHF + HIIT groups. An animal study shows a theobromine beneficial role in body mass gain and effects on lipid and glucose metabolism (Camps-Bossacoma et al.,
