Such derivatives can be developed by attachment to the chloromethyl ketone group of an oligopeptide, which interacts, with the substrate-binding pocket of the particular serine protease of interest
Similarly, Chee et al.[8] found that increasing skeletal muscle L-carnitine content by 20% in older adults enhanced whole-body fat oxidation by 20% during moderate-intensity exercise, primarily through greater intramyocellular lipid utilization
