Just adding..
I was interested in methionine to form carnitine as I read it helps with mitchondria function..and hence metabolism..which I'm still trying to increase.
I'm on thyroid hormone (THYROID/Armour/T4&T3 etc.)which has helped but my temperature is still way too low ...hence the brain fog, cold etc.There is a bok a guy on the thyroid forum recommended to me. I have it out of the uni lbrary now..and It's the best!..On physiology and I think you'd be interested in it.
You can also read it online for free if you have account at Amazon..that means giving them your credit card details though.
It's called "Review of Medical Physiology" by William F. Ganong 21st edition , 2003. It's updated every 2 years. This is one book I'm definitely going to buy..maybe next edition! For now I'll just renew it from the library.pp303 of above book..you can view online
Fatty acid ocxidation & synthesis..says
"Carnitine is synthesized in the body from lysine and methionine.'
"Medium and short chain fatty acids can enter the mitochondria without difficulty, but long-chain fatty acids must be bound to carnitine"Jan
