@CHAHILMANINDER94 Welcome to Open Study !! I would say that mitochondrial respiratory chain, a powerful source of reactive oxygen species (ROS), considered as the pathogenic agent of many diseases and aging. L-Carnitine (4-N-trimethylammonium-3-hydroxybutric acid) plays an important role in transport of fatty acid from cytoplasm to mitochondria for energy production.
