Talk:Carnosine

message: 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)
thread_title:  Moved further reading section 

message: 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)
thread_title:  Carnosine for Muscle Growth 

message: 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)
thread_title:  Reference Needed 

message: 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)
thread_title:  Do humans make their own carnosine 

message: 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?

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

message: Under the section "Athersclerosis and Aging," the word "glycolysis" may be used incorrectly.  The word means to break down glucose.  I believe the contributor of that word may have intended to use the actual word used in many of the cited studies, which is "glycation" or its synonym "glycosylation."  The latter two words refer to the attachment of a sugar molecule to a protein structure, the prevention and correction of which has been a key topic of research for Carnosine.
I have skimmed most of the studies cited and cannot find the word "glycolysis" used anywhere, but maybe I am missing something?  Please correct me if I am wrong.  
Thank you very kindly for your help!

thread_title:  Question about the use of the word "glycolysis" 

message: Alexbrn,
My citations only added relevant support from peer-reviewed studies archived by the National Institutes of Health website, and some of my citations were of articles by researchers who were already recognized as being lead researchers on the subject in the references on the Carnosine Wiki page - my additions merely filled in omissions.
Summary of my concerns about your revert:
1. My edits didn't vandalize what was already printed on the page, they merely augmented and supported it.
2. The citations filled in missing relevant peer-reviewed studies on the topic, including some by researchers already recognized in previous citations as having expertise in the topic.
3. My edits followed WP:MEDRS guidelines.
4. Your revert was a wholesale action that did not examine my contributions on a per-case basis.
Thank you very kindly, 71.185.215.82 (talk) 15:57, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Sources for health content should be WP:MEDRS and we must avoid dubious journals like those published by Frontiers. With this is mind, is there anything you think is worth adding? Alexbrn (talk) 16:57, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

text: As I said sources also need to be WP:MEDRS, which also means we do not use primary sources for this sort of health info. In general we present knowledge from secondary sources. Including papers from other countries as evidence of research in other countries is a species of WP:OR. Alexbrn (talk) 15:59, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

text: I think not as we lack reliable sources and this is a research backwater. You could ask at WT:MED if you disagree. Alexbrn (talk) 07:03, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
