Expression profiles of carnosine synthesis–related genes in mice after ingestion of carnosine or ß-alanine

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Carnosine is a dipeptide that improves exercise performance. The carnosine synthesis mechanism through carnosine and ß-alanine ingestion remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated the tissue distribution of carnosine synthase, ATP-g...
