Acyl-carnitine elevations in the brain of rats treated intracerebroventricularly with propionic acid. Notice that the majority of fatty-acid elevations were in short-chain (2–5 carbon length) and long-chain (13–18 carbon length) fatty-acids as compared with the medium-chain (6–12 carbon length) fatty-acids. This is adapted from Thomas et al.13 where it was presented as a table.
