Abstract β-Alanine is a nonproteogenic amino acid that combines with histidine to form a
dipeptide molecule known as carnosine. Carnosine is an H+ buffer that is especially useful …

In this narrative review we present and discuss the current knowledge available on
carnosine and β-alanine metabolism, as well as the effects of β-alanine supplementation on …

β-alanine is an amino acid that, when combined with histidine, forms the dipeptide
carnosine within skeletal muscle. Carnosine and β-alanine each have multiple purposes …

Glycolysis involves the oxidation of two neutral hydroxyl groups on each glycosyl (or
glucosyl) unit metabolised, yielding two carboxylic acid groups. During low-intensity …

Carnosine is an abundant histidine-containing dipeptide in human skeletal muscle and
formed by beta-alanine and L-histidine. It performs various physiological roles during …

Muscle carnosine has been reported to serve as a physiological buffer, possess antioxidant
properties, influence enzyme regulation, and affect sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium …

Abstract β-Alanine is one of the more popular sport supplements used by strength/power
athletes today. The popularity of β-alanine stems from its ability to enhance intracellular …

Carnosine (β-alanyl-L-histidine) plays an important role in exercise performance and
skeletalmuscle homeostasis. Dietary supplementation with the rate-limiting precursor β …

On the basis of the millimolar presence of carnosine in mammalian muscles, it must play a
critical role in skeletal muscle physiology. The recent number of studies shows that this is …

Abstract β-Alanine (BA) supplementation results in elevated intramuscular carnosine
content, enhancing buffering capacity during intense exercise. Although men have greater …
