l-anserine

L-Anserine nitrate (L-Anserine nitrate salt) is a dipeptide found in most animal tissues. In model systems it is a potent Antioxidant and scavener of hydroxyl radicals. The compound inhibits nonenzymatic protein glycation induced by aldose and ketose reducing sugars. It is much less potent than L-carnosine as an inhibitor of protein crosslinking.

Anserine (L-Anserine) is a dipeptide containing β-alanine and histidine, which can be found in the skeletal muscle and brain of mammals and birds. Anserine is not cleaved by serum carnosinase and act as biochemical buffers, chelators, antioxidants, and anti-glycation agents. Anserine improves memory functions in Alzheimer's disease (AD)-model mice.
