ABSTRACT
This study was designed to determine the effect of L-carnitine on anemic and hypoglycemic neonates. A total number of 70 neonates were divided into 2 groups hypoglycemic group [n=40 [20 supplemented with L-carnitine and 20 not supplemented]], and anemic group [n=30 [15 supplemented with L-carnitine and 15 not supplemented]]. The effect of L-carnitine was compared on both groups. We found that there was a significant improvement of hypoglycemia and anemia after L-carnitine supplementation, this improvement significantly correlated with the duration of the treatment
