Does anybody take Carnosine? I have just read that it may be helpful for PD: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18729814
Carnosine [corrected] increases efficiency of DOPA therapy of Parkinson's disease: a pilot study. Boldyrev A, Fedorova T, Stepanova M, Dobrotvorskaya I, Kozlova E, Boldanova N, Bagyeva G, Ivanova-Smolenskaya I, Illarioshkin S. Source Research Center of Neurology, Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, Moscow, Russia. aaboldyrev@mail.ru Erratum in Rejuvenation Res. 2008 Oct;11(5):988. Abstract The addition of the neuropeptide carnosine (beta-alanyl-L-histidine) as a food additive to the basic protocol of Parkinson's disease treatment results in significant improvement of neurological symptoms, along with increase in red blood cell Cu/Zn-SOD and decrease in blood plasma protein carbonyls and lipid hydroperoxides, with no noticeable change in platelets MAO B activity. The combination of carnosine with basic therapy may be a useful way to increase efficiency of PD treatment. |
