Discover the potential of L-Carnosine in combating aging-related neurodegeneration and its ability to act as a neurotherapeutic for the elderly population.
Abstract Summary:
- L-Carnosine is enriched in the prefrontal cortex, olfactory bulb of the brain, blood, and muscle.
- It possesses antioxidant and anti-glycating properties.
- L-Carnosine content diminishes during aging and neurodegenerative diseases.
- Aging leads to morphological, biochemical, cellular, and molecular changes in the brain, blood, and other tissues.
- L-Carnosine can counteract protein biosynthesis errors, stress, microglial and astrocyte activity, and various neurodegenerative disorders.
- It can also inhibit metal ion-induced degeneration by acting as a metal chelator.
Other Noted Benefits:
- L-Carnosine has the potential to address aging-induced neurodegeneration.
- It can be used as a promising neurotherapeutic for the betterment of elderly populations.
