A review of carnosine and lung disease.
PMID: Curr Med Chem. 2019 Jul 12. Epub 2019 Jul 12. PMID: 31309876 Abstract Title: Carnosine and Lung Disease. Abstract: Carnosine (b-alanyl-L-histidine) is a small dipeptide with numerous activities, including antioxidant effects, metal ion chelation, proton buffering capacity, and inhibitory effects on protein carbonylation and glycation. Carnosine has been mostly studied in organs where it …
Carnosine increases efficiency of temozolomide and irradiation treatment of isocitrate dehydrogenase-wildtype glioblastoma cells in culture.
PMID: Future Oncol. 2019 Oct 30. Epub 2019 Oct 30. PMID: 31664860 Abstract Title: Carnosine increases efficiency of temozolomide and irradiation treatment of isocitrate dehydrogenase-wildtype glioblastoma cells in culture. Abstract: The naturally occurring dipeptide carnosine (CAR) has been considered for glioblastoma therapy. As CAR also protects against ionizing irradiation (IR), we investigated whether it may …
Carnosine’s inhibitory effect on glioblastoma cell growth is independent of its cleavage.
PMID: Amino Acids. 2019 May ;51(5):761-772. Epub 2019 Mar 12. PMID: 30863889 Abstract Title: Carnosine's inhibitory effect on glioblastoma cell growth is independent of its cleavage. Abstract: The naturally occurring dipeptide carnosine (β-alanyl-L-histidine) inhibits the growth of tumor cells. As its component L-histidine mimics the effect, we investigated whether cleavage of carnosine is required for …
Carnosine suppresses human colorectal cell migration and intravasation.
PMID: Am J Chin Med. 2019 ;47(2):477-494. PMID: 30909731 Abstract Title: Carnosine Suppresses Human Colorectal Cell Migration and Intravasation by Regulating EMT and MMP Expression. Abstract: Carnosine is an endogenous dipeptide found in the vertebrate skeletal muscles that is usually obtained through the diet. To investigate the mechanism by which carnosine regulates the migration and …

This paper argues that precautionary principle in respect to radiofrequency radiation is justified.
PMID: N Z Med J. 2018 12 14 ;131(1487):97-107. Epub 2018 Dec 14. PMID: 30543616 Abstract Title: Public health and the radio frequency radiation emitted by cellphone technology, smart meters and WiFi. Abstract: This paper argues that the prevailing official narrative in New Zealand concerning the relationship between public health and the radio frequency emissions …
Carnosine improves diabetic retinopathy via the MAPK/ERK pathway.
PMID: Exp Ther Med. 2019 Apr ;17(4):2641-2647. Epub 2019 Jan 30. PMID: 30930967 Abstract Title: Carnosine improves diabetic retinopathy via the MAPK/ERK pathway. Abstract: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most common causes of blindness in developed countries. Due to its asymptomatic onset and progressive disease course, DR is typically diagnosed at a late …

Mobile phone jammers alter blood cell factors.
PMID: J Biomed Phys Eng. 2018 Dec ;8(4):403-408. Epub 2018 Dec 1. PMID: 30568930 Abstract Title: Electromagnetic Fields of Mobile Phone Jammer Exposure on Blood Factors in Rats. Abstract: Background: The increasing demand for using mobile phones has led to increasing mobile phone jammers as well. On the other hand, reports show that exposure to …

Extremely-low frequency electric fields induce morphological changes in avian erythrocytes.
PMID: Bioelectromagnetics. 2019 Sep ;40(6):375-390. Epub 2019 Jun 3. PMID: 31157927 Abstract Title: Morphological Changes Induced By Extremely Low-Frequency Electric Fields. Abstract: In this paper, morphological effects of electric fields on avian erythrocytes (nucleated red blood cells) have been studied in detail. Morphological changes include rounding and cytoplasm transparency. It has been shown that the …
