The results of the present study provide evidence that L-carnitine supplementation in pregnancy in sufficient doses avoids a striking increase of plasma FFAs, which are thought to be the main cause of insulin resistance and consequently gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)
This increases levels of cAMP and thereby activates protein kinase A (PKA), which then activates vesicle exocytosis mechanisms to release insulin from beta-cells (Leech and Habener, 1997
However, most supplements are processed by the liver, and even seemingly harmless products can have long-term consequences

Notably, there is substantial collaboration among different countries (Fig
