Moved further reading section

I have no idea how to edit the main section of carnosine, but here is a citation to support the notion that vegetarian diets do in fact lack it. http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2006/jan2006_awsi_01.htm email me if you want to explain how to edit it. Hilsee@gmail.com delete this when it is added as a citation. thanks to whomever does such. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.31.82.146 (talk) 20:15, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The lef.org article may not be a valid citation as I read elsewhere (http://www.therawdiet.com/supplements.html) the lef.org site sells a vegan carnosine supplement. There is an inherent conflict of interest here, I think. Davidresseguie (talk) 15:45, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I move this here, I doubt if this has been used to write the article, though they may be useful to expand the article:

Carnosine for Muscle Growth

What's up with the hype about Carnosine for weightlifting as in H-Blocker ? Maybe, it is just a marketing fraud. I found the following reference, which some of the Carnosine selling companies build on:

  • Hoffman, J., et al. (2006). Effect of creatine and B-alanine supplementation on performance and endocrine responses in strength/power athletes. Med Sci Sports Exerc. 38:S126. IM

I did not bother to read it, though, as I'm not an expert and could not judge anyhow, whether the journal was professional. SebastianHellmann (talk) 08:02, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reference Needed

It ocurred to me, as to the quest for a reference towards the end of the article, http://www.tritolonen.fi/files/pdf/hipkiss_nyas.pdf, p. 371 might help, but not sure. 219.110.234.167 (talk) 03:39, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do humans make their own carnosine

How much carnosine per day does a human need, and how much can be synthesised from the constituent amino acids ? β-Alanine supplementation augments muscle carnosine content and attenuates fatigue during repeated isokinetic contraction bouts in trained sprinters suggests we can make it given enough β-Alanine in the diet. - Rod57 (talk) 13:05, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What proportion of dietary carnosine is broken up before absorbtion ? - Rod57 (talk) 12:58, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What relative masses of L-hystidine and B-Alanine to make Carnosine in the body?

What relative masses of L-hystidine and B-Alanine are needed to make Carnosine in the body? I read that carnosine would be destroyed in the digestive tract, so the body needs the two precursors. Some suppliments have both. How much relative quantities of each are needed stoichiometrically? 71.139.160.208 (talk) 19:39, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
