Abstract Carnosine (β-alanyl-l-histidine) was discovered in 1900 as an abundant non-
protein nitrogen-containing compound of meat. The dipeptide is not only found in skeletal …

Abstract Position statement The International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) provides an
objective and critical review of the mechanisms and use of beta-alanine supplementation …

Objective To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of the evidence on the effects of
β-alanine supplementation on exercise capacity and performance. Design This study was …

Due to the well-defined role of β-alanine as a substrate of carnosine (a major contributor to
H+ buffering during high-intensity exercise), β-alanine is fast becoming a popular ergogenic …

Intramuscular acidosis is a contributing factor to fatigue during high-intensity exercise. Many
nutritional strategies aiming to increase intra-and extracellular buffering capacity have been …

Progressive age-related reductions in muscle mass and strength (sarcopenia) can cause
substantial morbidity. This narrative review summarizes evidence of nutritional interventions …

Abstract β-Alanine (BA) supplementation results in elevated intramuscular carnosine
content, enhancing buffering capacity during intense exercise. Although men have greater …

On the basis of the millimolar presence of carnosine in mammalian muscles, it must play a
critical role in skeletal muscle physiology. The recent number of studies shows that this is …

Abstract β-Alanine is a nonproteogenic amino acid that combines with histidine to form a
dipeptide molecule known as carnosine. Carnosine is an H+ buffer that is especially useful …

Endurance training leads to a variety of adaptations at the cellular and systemic levels that
serve to minimise disruptions in whole-body homeostasis caused by exercise. These …
