Efficacy of carnosine on activation of caspase 3 and human renal carcinoma cell inhibition.

Carnosine is a natural antioxidant dipeptide that is highly concentrated in muscles and brain. The present study investigated the effect of carnosine cell growth inhibition and activation of the caspase-3 enzyme under cell co-culture system. Renal carcinoma and normal cells were co-cultured to provide three-dimensional views for the experimental analyses.
