  • A new green approach to L-histidine and ß-alanine analysis in dietary supplements using rapid and simple contactless conductivity detection integrated with high-resolution glass-microchip electrophoresis.: This paper presents a novel method for analyzing ß-Alanine in dietary supplements, showcasing a green, efficient, and high-resolution technique (Pukleš et al., 2024).

Biochem/physiol Actions

β-Alanine, a β amino acid, is a component of pantothenic acid and the rate limiting amino acid in the biosynthesis of the histidinyl antioxidant dipeptides carnosine and anserine.
β-Alanine, a β−amino acid, is a component of pantothenic acid and the rate-limiting amino acid in the biosynthesis of the histidinyl antioxidant dipeptides carnosine and anserine. Endogenous β-amino acid that is a nonselective agonist at glycine receptors and a ligand for the G protein-coupled orphan receptor, TGR7 (MrgD). β-Alanine flux plays a cytoprotective role by supporting the osmotic stability of marine organisms, preimplantation mouse embryos and mammalian cells exposed to hypoxic stress.
