Comment:
L-carnosine (beta-alanyl-L-histidine) occurs naturally in the body.
Addition of
L-carnosine in cardioplegic solution during stopped heart operations allows increasing the operation duration severalfold without signs of necrotic damage of tissues of the heart in the operative field [45].
(4,6)
L-carnosine (beta-alanyl-L-histidine) is the synthetic version identical to the natural form alpha-alanyl-L-histidine.
L-carnosine ([beta]-alanyl-L-histidine, LC) is a dipeptide made up of [beta]-alanine and L-histidine, which is highly concentrated in muscle and brain tissues of animals.

L-carnosine. Journal of Biochemistry.
Hereafter the cells were challenged for 24 h with different concentrations of Fe[Cl.sub.3] (Sigma, Munich, Germany) or Zn[Cl.sub.2] (Sigma, Munich, Germany) either in the presence or in the absence of
L-carnosine (Sigma, Munich, Germany).
L-Carnosine - Protects from oxidation and free radical damage.
Zinc
L-carnosine protects against mucosal injury in portal hypertensive gastropathy through induction of heat shock protein 72.
A newly formulated combination of zinc and
L-carnosine (a combination of two amino acids) does all of these.
