Carnosine and the processes of ageing
Aging researchers describe a short list of biological processes that drive getting older. This paper lines carnosine up against several of them at once — oxidative damage, sugar-driven protein damage (glycation), failing mitochondria and the cell's declining ability to keep proteins in good repair.
Key takeaway
Carnosine touches more than one hallmark of aging at the same time, which is why it keeps reappearing in longevity research rather than in a single narrow indication.
