Read the original on PubMed 22895378
Plain-language summary

Mouse study comparing β-alanine, carnosine, and combined supplementation against the contractile performance of isolated muscle preparations. Both molecules improved force and fatigue resistance, with additive effects under combined dosing.

Key takeaways
  • Direct effect on isolated muscle contractility.
  • Additive benefit when both molecules co-administered.
  • Mechanistic bridge between mouse and human work.
