Anatomical context of Carnosine

  • Biosynthesis of carnosine and related peptides by glial cells in primary culture [20].
  • Carnosinase, the dipeptidase which hydrolyses carnosine and other histidine-containing dipeptides, was assayed in mucosal tissues of the human and of the rat gut [21].
  • 5. We propose that the cellular imidazoles related to carnosine are natural 'Ca2+ sensitizers' in striated muscle [22].
  • METHODS: Uptake of tritiated L-carnosine was monitored using conjunctival epithelial cells on days 6 through 8 in culture on a filter support [23].
  • Due to the combination of weak metal chelating (abolished by EDTA), OH. and lipid peroxyl radicals scavenging, reducing activities to liberated fatty acid and phospholipid hydroperoxides, carnosine and carcinine appear to be physiological antioxidants able to efficiently protect the lipid phase of biological membranes and aqueous environments [24].
