Plain-language summary
Neuronal cell experiments isolating two distinct contributions to carnosine's protective effect: preservation of mitochondrial membrane potential and direct detoxification of hydrogen peroxide. Demonstrates that the neuroprotective phenotype rests on more than one mechanism.
Key takeaways
- ›Mitochondrial preservation is mechanistically primary.
- ›Direct H2O2 detoxification adds a second axis.
- ›Explains why effects survive pathway blockade.
