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

1. The occurrence, metabolism and physiological significance of non-protein nitrogenous
compounds in fish are discussed. 2. 2. Free histidine and imidazole dipeptides serve as …

Abstract Carnosine (β-alanyl-l-histidine) is present in high concentrations in human skeletal
muscle. The ingestion of β-alanine, the rate-limiting precursor of carnosine, has been shown …

For the evaluation of antioxidant activities of dipeptides (carnosine, anserine), and free
amino acids (histidine, 1-methylhistidine, taurine, glycine, alanine, β-alanine), four methods …

Analysis of ATPase characterized type I and type II fibres from biopsy samples of the vastus
lateralis muscle of four male subjects showed a selective distribution of carnosine and free …

Commercial samples of beef and turkey meat were prepared by commonly used cooking
methods with standard cooking times:(1) broiled at 200° C for 10min,(2) broiled at a medium …

Resistance training is associated with periods of acute intracellular hypoxia with increased
H 1 production and low intramuscular pH. The aim of this study was to investigate the …

Ageing is associated with a reduction in muscle carnosine (β-alanyl-l-histidine), but there
are no data on the changes specifically in type I and type II muscle fibres. Given the higher …

By high-performance liquid chromatography the distribution of L-histidine, carnosine,
anserine, and balenine was examined in the white and red muscles of nine species of …

Imidazole dipeptides (IDPs) are found in the skeletal muscles and brains of various animals,
and they exhibit unique functions like antioxidant and antiaging properties. Despite their …
