Description:
L-Carnosine is a dipeptide concentrated in muscle and brain tissue. It acts as an antioxidant that scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS) and transition metal ions. It is also a neurotransmitter in the brain. L-Carnosine has potential antioxidant and anti-glycosylation activities, preventing acetaldehyde-induced non-enzymatic glycosylation and protein coupling. It is also a substrate for carnosinase detection, which can maintain pH balance in the body and extend cell life.
