Decreased Polyamines with Aging.

Posted on September 14, 2006 by Dr. Gary Pack

The authors studied polyamine levels in mice at different ages to learn more about the changes that occur with natural aging. Polyamines stimulate the production of proteins and are necessary for proper organ function and include cadaverine, agmatine, spermine, spermidine, norspermidine and putrescine. The normal human polyamine synthesis is reduced with aging, therefore oral intake […]

Posted on May 26, 2006 by Dr. Gary Pack

L-carnosine, known as beta-alanine-L-histidine, is a dipeptide containing two amino acids, alanine and histidine. It is an antioxidant, a chelator of toxic metals, a buffer, etc. L-carnosine may neutralize lactic acid and surprisingly the human muscle contains 20 mM carnosine while mouse muscle contains only 1 mM. The authors have studied the effect of l-carnosine […]
