Abstract:
NMR spectroscopy was used to study carnosine and anserine metabolism in rat tissues under intensive muscle loading. Muscle loading was accompanied by the dipeptide (predominantly anserine) accumulation in muscle tissues. Preliminary per os administration of carnosine (250 mg/kg of body mass) did not increase the dipeptide content in muscle tissues but diminished the lactate content in rat muscles under intensive muscle loading.
