Read the original on PubMed 11470131
Plain-language summary

Controlled in vitro assay showing that carnosine inhibits protein carbonylation — one of the most damaging and irreversible forms of oxidative protein modification. Mechanism of choice for explaining tissue-level protein homeostasis benefits.

Key takeaways
  • Direct inhibition of an irreversible damage pathway.
  • Supports tissue-level proteostasis claims.
  • Frequent reference in aging literature.
