Project description
Carnosine is present in relatively high concentration in human skeletal muscle. Although carnosine has different functions in other places in the body, it's almost exclusively synthesized in the skeeltal muscle cells. The purpose of this study is to investigate of skeletal muscles can act as storage site and can transport & release carnosine in a controlled way in the interstititum/circulation.
