In 2006 the researchers published the results of an experiment they carried out with 10 experienced male strength trainers. The men trained their most important muscle groups by doing squats, bench press, bent-over rows and shoulder press. They did 4 sets of 10 reps for each exercise.
The subjects trained in the mornings before breakfast.
On one occasion they drank water after their training session [Water], on the other they consumed a meal substitute, which provided 8 kcal per kg bodyweight. This contained 1.1 g carbohydrates, 0.3 g whole protein and 0.25 g fat [Feeding]. In fact, the test subjects were given Ensure Plus, produced by Abbott Nutrition.
On top of that the researchers gave the men 2 g L-carnitine daily in the form of L-carnitine-L-tartrate [divided into two portions per day]. [LCLT] The supplement was given for a period of 3 weeks. Carnitine tartrate is believed to be more stable in the body than ordinary carnitine. On another occasion the men were given a placebo. [PL] When the researchers examined muscle cells from the mens legs, they noticed that the carnitine supplementation had raised the manufacture of androgen receptors.
Eating a meal after the training session also increased the number of androgen receptors, but the effect was stronger when the men took carnitine as well.
