Table 2.

Carnitine metabolites that changed in concentration after feeding of the baseline or NE diet compared with the purified diet

	Relative to quantity in purified diet
Carnitine	NE ↑, Baseline ↑
Propionylcarnitine (C3)	Baseline ↓
Octanoylcarnitine (C8)	NE ↓, Baseline ↓
Palmitoylcarnitine (C16:1)	Baseline ↑
Oleoylcarnitine (C18:1 [n-9])	Baseline ↑
Linoelaidyl carnitine (C18:2 [n-6])	Baseline ↑
Cervonyl carnitine (C22:6 [n-3])	Baseline ↑

^↑, metabolite concentration higher than that in marmosets fed the purified diet; ↓, metabolite concentration lower than that in marmosets fed the purified diet.
