- What was measured
- External appearance and physiological condition of experimental animals given carnosine, compared with animals given nothing or a mixture of beta-alanine and L-histidine.
What the authors reported
The authors report that carnosine given as a dietary supplement had an anti-senescence effect in experimental animals. They state that it noticeably improved external appearance and produced beneficial physiological effects, and that treated animals were in better condition than two control groups, one with no carnosine and one with a beta-alanine plus L-histidine mixture. The abstract does not name the animal strain; related work from this group used senescence-accelerated mice (SAM).
