AbstractIn diabetes mellitus the metabolic and microvascular disorders form a deficit of energy-generating phosphates, which leads to cell pathology. The medicine acetyl-L-carnitine helps to restore cell energy imbalance, improving transport of long-chain fatty acid in mitochondria, where they serve as a substrate for adenosine triphosphate formation. Acetyl-L-carnitine has various effect: reduction of oxidative stress, improvement of endothelium condition, antinociceptive action. Acetyl-L-carnitine is a medicine of choice for a large number of patients, in particular of old age, with type II of diabetes mellitus due to multi-purpose activity and efficiency in neurological pathology which патологии характерной for this group of patients: diabetic polyneuropathy and diabetic encephalopathy, asthenia, a low-grade depression.
