Does the study distinguish if OCTN2 (carnitine transporter) reduction
causes IBD or that OCTN2 is simply reduced during inflammation? Since
carnitine is an antioxidant and is essential for metabolism of long
chain fatty acids (LCFAs), lack of it could cause inflammation. On the
other hand, during inflammation, cell many not want to metabolize
LCFAs since they are prone to peroxidation.
