Briefly, animals were assigned to two groups ( n = 5 male mice per group), vehicle (5% DMSO and 0.5% Kollidon-30 in 100 mM sodium phosphate buffer) or TLC-2716 (1 mg per kg (body weight) daily by oral gavage) for 8 days, after which animals were humanely killed by cardiac puncture, and plasma and tissues were collected for lipid and gene expression endpoints as described below
Images and videos of the droplets and fluid boundaries during rotation were captured using a wireless microscope (SV606, SVBONY, Kowloon, Hong Kong)

The dose most commonly associated with modest weight and fat outcomes is about 1.5 to 2 grams of L-carnitine per day
