Carnosine and the processes of ageing

Read the original on PubMed 27344659
Plain-language summary

A focused review on carnosine's interaction with the major biological hallmarks of aging — oxidative damage, glycation, mitochondrial decline, and proteostasis collapse. The author argues that the molecule's breadth of action is exactly what an anti-aging candidate should look like.

Key takeaways
  • Aligns carnosine's chemistry with hallmarks of aging.
  • Highlights cross-tissue relevance, not a single-organ effect.
  • Argues for sustained, not acute, supplementation logic.
