We are delighted to share that our research has been published in the Amino Acids journal!
Our study focused on the effects of carnosine supplementation, an endogenous dipeptide known for buffering intracellular pH and quenching toxic products of lipid peroxidation. Carnosine is also popular as a dietary supplement for supporting exercise endurance, but its accumulation and distribution in the body after supplementation have not been thoroughly evaluated—until now.
This study suggests that oral carnosine supplementation effectively increases carnosine levels in RBCs and urine, without any adverse effects, making RBC carnosine a potentially useful biomarker for estimating carnosine levels in the body.
A big thank you to our research team and everyone who contributed to this study. We’re eager to see how these findings will influence future research and practical applications in the field of exercise physiology and beyond.
