A method was developed for the simultaneous determination of anserine, homocarnosine and carnosine in meat samples using ion chromatography (IC) with integrated pulsed amperometric detection (IPAD). The samples were separated on a high performance anion exchange AminoPac PA10 column (250 mm×2 mm) using 100 mmol/L NaOH as the eluent. The flow rate was kept at 0.2 mL/min and the column temperature was set at 30℃. The three target compounds were separated within 15 min, and there were no interferences from 17 tested amino acids in their determination. Under the optimal chromatographic conditions, anserine, homocarnosine and carnosine showed good linearity in the range of 0.05-5 mg/L with correlation coefficients () greater than 0.99. The limits of detection (LODs) and limits of quantification (LOQs) were in the range of 8.9-22.1 μg/L and 29.6-73.6 μg/L, respectively. The proposed method was applied to the analysis of duck breast and goose breast meat samples. The average spiked recoveries ranged from 92.4% to 104.5%. This simple and sensitive method can be applied to the determination of related nutrients in meat products.

Histidine dipeptides (HDs) are synthesized in brain oligodendrocytes by carnosine synthase (carns1), but their role is unknown. Using metabolomics and in vivo experiments with both constitutive and oligodendrocyte-selective carns1-KO mouse models, we found that HDs are critical for oligodendrocyte survival and protect against oxidative stress. Carns1-KO mouse models had lower numbers of mature oligodendrocytes, increased lipid peroxidation, and behavioral changes.

To explore the changes in meat quality and molecular mechanisms during the growth and development of Taihe black-bone silky fowl, this study employed liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) metabolomics to elucidate the dynamic changes of key differential metabolites (DMs) affecting meat quality, indicating that chicken at D120 had higher levels of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), creatine, anserine, and homocarnosine, while D150 had the most stachydrine and D210 had the most acylcarnitines. Additionally, D120 and D180 had more umami and sweet compounds. Furthermore, key metabolic pathways influenced by age included purine metabolism, the pentose phosphate pathway, nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism, and taurine and hypotaurine metabolism.

Carnosine (CAR), anserine (ANS), homocarnosine (H-CAR), and ophidine (OPH) are histidine-containing dipeptides that show a wide range of therapeutic properties. With their potential physiological effects, these bioactive dipeptides are considered as bioactive food components. However, such dipeptides display low stability due to their rapid degradation by human serum carnosinase 1 (CN1).

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD), a highly prevalent complication of diabetes mellitus, is a major cause of mortality in patients. However, identifying circulatory markers to diagnose DKD requires a thorough understanding of the metabolic mechanisms of DKD. In this study, we performed ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) to reveal altered metabolic profiles of amino acids (AAs) in patients with DKD.
