Carnosine
The two-amino-acid peptide the body makes for itself slowed cell division in mice, by a route running beside the Akt-mTOR chain rather than through it.
What the evidence shows
Every line below is carried on the blend page that makes the claim. Follow it to the pathway and its sources.
Pooled across randomized trials, carnosine and its fellow histidine dipeptides improved delayed recall on the Wechsler Memory Scale.
Sugar that sticks to collagen makes it stiff and yellow. Carnosine, a dipeptide of muscle and brain, intercepts that sugar before it binds.
A meta-analysis of four double-blind, placebo-controlled trials found carnosine and anserine over twelve weeks improved global cognition and verbal memory.
The dipeptide carnosine reduced senescence markers (SA-β-gal) and SASP factors via the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway and rejuvenated senescent human fibroblasts — shown in laboratory study.
