Sponsored by University of Guadalajara · Phase 2, Interventional, and Treatment
The L-carnitine has demonstrated effects in the treatment of obesity mainly promoting the fat degradation during exercise.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial will be carry out in 24 woman with body mass index ≥ 25 to 29.9 kg/m2. The patients will receive 1.5 g of L-Carnitine deluded in 250 ml of water or placebo before crossfit training, 5 times a week for 8 weeks. Before and after intervention the investigators evaluate: The body composition (body fat, lean body mass), arm muscle circumference, waist circumference, body weight and body mass index.
231 studies on the registry are indexed under Body Weight Changes; 30 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 24 is below the median of 80 across 179 interventional studies indexed under Body Weight Changes.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
