Description

Application

A new green approach to L-histidine and β-alanine analysis in dietary supplements using rapid and simple contactless conductivity detection integrated with high-resolution glass-microchip electrophoresis.: This paper presents a novel method for analyzing β-Alanine in dietary supplements, showcasing a green, efficient, and high-resolution technique (Pukleš et al., 2024).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Endogenous β-amino acid that is a nonselective agonist at glycine receptors and a ligand for the G protein-coupled orphan receptor, TGR7 (MrgD). β-Alanine is a component of pantothenic acid.

β-Alanine, a β amino acid, is a component of pantothenic acid and the rate limiting amino acid in the biosynthesis of the histidinyl antioxidant dipeptides carnosine and anserine.

Role of beta-alanine supplementation on muscle carnosine and exercise performance.

Guilherme Giannini Artioli et al.

Medicine and science in sports and exercise, 42(6), 1162-1173 (2010-05-19)

In this narrative review, we present and discuss the current knowledge available on carnosine and beta-alanine metabolism as well as the effects of beta-alanine supplementation on exercise performance. Intramuscular acidosis has been attributed to be one of the main causes

Simple enzymatic procedure for L-carnosine synthesis: whole-cell biocatalysis and efficient biocatalyst recycling.

Jan Heyland et al.

Microbial biotechnology, 3(1), 74-83 (2011-01-25)

β-Peptides and their derivates are usually stable to proteolysis and have an increased half-life compared with α-peptides. Recently, β-aminopeptidases were described as a new enzyme class that enabled the enzymatic degradation and formation of β-peptides. As an alternative to the

Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials on risk of myocardial infarction from the use of oral direct thrombin inhibitors.

Ramin Artang et al.

The American journal of cardiology, 112(12), 1973-1979 (2013-10-01)

Dabigatran has been associated with greater risk of myocardial infarction (MI) than warfarin. It is unknown whether the increased risk is unique to dabigatran, an adverse effect shared by other oral direct thrombin inhibitors (DTIs), or the result of a
