FFA increased in Group P and gradually decreased in Group P + C. There were significant differences between the two groups at the three-hour point (Group P; 331.2 ± 64.5 vs. Group P + C; 199 ± 73.6 ). Glucose decreased in groups (Group P; 53.8 ±16.6 mg/dL vs. Group P + C; 88 ± 11.3 mg/dL) at the three-hour point. Amino acid concentrations were higher in Group P + C compared with Group P after experiments; alanine and glutamine increased significantly. β-hydroxybutyric acid increased significantly in Group P + C, and intrahepatic triglyceride decreased in Group P + C. Dependency on fatty acid metabolism significantly decreased with propofol only; addition of L-carnitine prevented these effects.
Conclusions Propofol impaired mitochondrial fatty acid metabolism, which was compensated mainly by a switch to glucose metabolism and partially by amino acid metabolism. Addition of L-carnitine may improve this imbalance of energy metabolism.
