A comparative study of hummingbirds and chickens provides mechanistic insight on the histidine containing dipeptide role in skeletal muscle metabolism [PDF]
Histidine containing dipeptides (HCDs) have numerous ergogenic and therapeutic properties, but their primary role in skeletal muscle remains unclear. Potential functions include pH regulation, protection against reactive oxygen/nitrogen species, or Ca2 ...

The ethyl acetate extract of Rosa roxburghii Tratt (EAE) alleviated pulmonary fibrosis through modulation of gut microbiota‐amino acid metabolism and inhibition of the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. Bioactive components and antioxidant capacity were evaluated across different polar extracts of Rosa roxburghii Tratt (RRTEs). The EAE exhibited the highest

Anti-Cancer Effects of Carnosine—A Dipeptide Molecule
Background: Carnosine is a dipeptide molecule (β-alanyl-l-histidine) with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-glycation, and chelating properties. It is used in exercise physiology as a food supplement to increase performance; however, in vitro evidence

β-alanine supplementation improves in-vivo fresh and fatigued skeletal muscle relaxation speed [PDF]
Purpose: In fresh muscle, supplementation with the rate-limiting precursor of carnosine, β-alanine (BA), results in a decline in muscle half-relaxation time (HRT) potentially via alterations to calcium (Ca2+) handling. Accumulation of hydrogen cation (H+)

A Novel Multimodal LC–MS/MS Panel for the Comprehensive Diagnosis of Neurometabolic Disorders in CSF
ABSTRACT Metabolic testing of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is essential for early diagnosis of neurometabolic disorders. However, the large number of differential diagnoses, the phenotypic variance within a clinical picture, and the disease rarity complicate targeted metabolic diagnostics.
