Anserine, Balenine, and Ergothioneine: Impact of Histidine-Containing Compounds on Exercise Performance—A Narrative Review [PDF]
Histidine is an amino acid which plays a critical role in protein synthesis, muscle buffering during anaerobic exercise, and antioxidation. It also acts as a precursor to carnosine, a dipeptide that enhances physical performance by being present in fast-contracting muscle fibers and contributing to buffering capacity. Recent studies have examined other

Carnosine (β-alanyl-L-histidine) and its methylated analogues anserine and balenine are highly concentrated endogenous dipeptides in mammalian skeletal muscle that are implicated in exercise performance. Balenine has a much better bioavailability and stability in human circulation upon acute ingestion, compared to carnosine and anserine.

Histidine-Containing Dipeptides in Obesity and Cardiometabolic Health: A Systematic Scoping Review. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Histidine‐containing dipeptides (HCDs) have been reported to have anti‐inflammatory and antidiabetic properties. Yet, no previous reviews have examined the impact of HCDs on Type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk factors (e.g., obesity) and progression (e.g., microvascular and macrovascular complications).

The protective role of carnosine against type 2 diabetes-induced cognitive impairment. [PDF]
Carnosine has potential as a promising oral formulation of multi‐protective therapy for the prevention or treatment of diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases. Specifically, through its antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, and anti‐glycation properties, carnosine alleviated cognitive dysfunction, mediated insulin resistance, delayed oxidative damage ...

Balenine, Imidazole Dipeptide Promotes Skeletal Muscle Regeneration by Regulating Phagocytosis Properties of Immune Cells [PDF]
Balenine is one of the endogenous imidazole dipeptides derived from marine products. It is composed of beta-alanine and 3-methyl-L-histidine, which exist mainly in the muscles of marine organisms. The physiological functions of dietary balenine are not well-known.
