The rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (each group of 20 rats): group A1 (normal control group under normoxia), group A2 (normal control group under normoxia, received low-dose l-carnitine at 50 mg/kg), group A3 (normal control group under normoxia, received high-dose l-carnitine at 100 mg/kg), group B (plateau model control group, received injecting normal saline), group C (low-dose l-carnitine intervention altitude model group, received 50 mg/kg l-carnitine) and group D (high-dose l-carnitine intervention altitude model group, received 100 mg/kg l-carnitine)
The gene has been annotated in the human genome on the chromosome X, it is composed of 13 exons encoding only one splice variant, and has been cloned in 1999 (Sloan and Mager, 1999)
