J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle . 2022 Aug; 13(5):2361-2372. PMID: 35977911
Background: Beta-alanine (BA) supplementation increases muscle carnosine, an abundant endogenous antioxidant and pH buffer in skeletal muscle. Carnosine loading promotes exercise capacity in healthy older adults. As patients with chronic...

J Int Soc Sports Nutr . 2022 May; 19(1):70-91. PMID: 35599917
Background: Recent studies suggest that acute-combined carnosine and anserine supplementation has the potential to improve the performance of certain cycling protocols. Yet, data on optimal dose, timing of ingestion, effective...

J Neuroinflammation . 2021 Nov; 18(1):255. PMID: 34740381
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease driven by sustained inflammation in the central nervous system. One of the pathological hallmarks of MS is extensive free radical production....

Amino Acids . 2021 Oct; 53(11):1749-1761. PMID: 34642824
Muscle weakness and fatigue are primary manifestations of multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic disease of the central nervous system. Interventions that enhance muscle function may improve overall physical well-being of...

Sci Adv . 2021 Apr; 7(16). PMID: 33853781
Exercise training is a powerful strategy to prevent and combat cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, although the integrative nature of the training-induced adaptations is not completely understood. We show that chronic...

Med Sci Sports Exerc . 2021 Mar; 53(9):1911-1921. PMID: 33787532
Purpose: The aims of this study were 1) to model the temporal profile of W' recovery after exhaustion, 2) to estimate the contribution of changing V˙O2 kinetics to this recovery,...

J Int Soc Sports Nutr . 2021 Feb; 18(1):15. PMID: 33588872
Background: chicken meat extract is a popular functional food in Asia. It is rich in the bioactive compounds carnosine and anserine, two histidine-containing dipeptides (HCD). Studies suggest that acute pre-exercise...

Stautemas J, Jarzebska N, Shan Z, Blancquaert L, Everaert I, de Jager S, et al.
Eur J Appl Physiol . 2020 Sep; 120(12):2749-2759. PMID: 32948897
Purpose: Chronic β-alanine supplementation leads to increased levels of muscle histidine-containing dipeptides. However, the majority of ingested β-alanine is, most likely, degraded by two transaminases: GABA-T and AGXT2. In contrast...

Front Physiol . 2019 Oct; 10:1240. PMID: 31611815
Recently, it was suggested that β-aminoisobutyric acid (BAIBA) is a myokine involved in browning of fat. However, there is no evidence for an acute effect of exercise supporting this statement...
