Abstract Carnosine (β-alanyl-l-histidine) was discovered in 1900 as an abundant non-
protein nitrogen-containing compound of meat. The dipeptide is not only found in skeletal …

The article reviews current literature on the biological role of carnosine, its properties and
use as a supplement in periods of intense physical activity. Studies carried out on laboratory …

Lucidone was previously reported to exhibit anti-inflammatory activity in vitro and in vivo. In
the present study, we characterized the mechanisms underlying the hepatoprotective effect …

Rats were injected with isoproterenol (ISO; 110 mg/kg, ip, 2 doses, 24 h interval) to induce
acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and were sacrificed 6 and 24 h after the last ISO injection …

The present study was undertaken to investigate the possible protective effect of L-carnosine
(CAR), an endogenous dipeptide of alanine and histidine, on carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4) …

Abstract Aim Nigella sativa L.(Ranunculaceae) is considered as a therapeutic plant-based
medicine for liver damage. In this study, the aim was to study the effect of Nigella sativa oil …

Abstract d-galactose (GAL) causes aging-related changes and oxidative stress in the
organism. We investigated the effect of carnosine (CAR) or taurine (TAU), having antioxidant …

Objective: Oxidative stress plays an important role in doxorubicin (DOX)-induced toxicity.
Carnosine (CAR) is a dipeptide with antioxidant properties. The aim of this study was to …

Oxidative imbalance is one of the most important mechanisms of alcohol-induced injury.
Acute alcohol exposure induces a significant amount of reactive oxygen species during its …

A diet high in fructose (HFr) induces insulin resistance in animals. Free radicals are involved
in the pathogenesis of HFr-induced insulin resistance. Carnosine (CAR) is a dipeptide with …
