Carnosine is synthesized from histidine and beta-alanine. The latter is considered the limiting factor for carnosine synthesis and, when ingested via supplementation, it induces significant increases in carnosine levels within the skeletal muscle, positively modulating the acid-basic regulation in muscle, which is the major physiological role of muscle carnosine. Several studies have show…
Carnosine is cytoplasmic dipeptide abundantly found in the skeletal muscle. Obtained from the diet, carnosine is not directly absorbed by the skeletal muscle as it is rapidly hydrolyzed into its constituent amino acids, beta-alanine and histidine. Importantly, beta-alanine availability has been demonstrated to be the rate-limiting factor for muscle carnosine synthesis. Hence, beta-alanine…
