Though the pursuit for fountain of immortality has not yet prospered to mankind, several alternative substances currently existing in our time have been found to be capable of slowing down the maturity process of man. One of these substances is called Carnosine.
Carnosine is also known as beta-alanyl-L-histidine. Though this substances has been found to be a histidine and amino acid beta-alanine dipeptide, this substance can be commonly found inside the human body, on areas rich in protein mass and flesh such as muscles and brain. Through this substance, the human body is capable of naturally fighting agents of aging, inhibiting the glycolysis process, or the process known to promote maturity of cells.
However, lessening of the Carnosine substance within the human body may also be an advantage, depending on the case. A small study in 2002 concluded that controlled existence of Carnosine among children with autism has improved their vocabulary and social skills. This study has furthered by connecting the controlled effect of Carnosine to the maturation of certain developmental cells among the participants, which includes brain cells.
Another study conducted has been centered on reconstructing the nerve conditions of participants suffering from Cerebral Palsy. The number of respondents that have given progressive responses to the research are mostly children, aged 8-15. Only a small number of the older participants have shown favorable improvements on the experiments.
Though man is aware of the existence of this substance, little literature has been made on Carnosine, inferring that there has only been a small or no study conducted in pursuit of enriching and cultivating this natural age defier. This may be due to the restrictions animal activitists have imposed among researches and studies, prohibiting the use of animals for medical studies and researches. Though according to the researchers, the kind of study they are imposing would not risk the mortality of their participants, studies concerning this substance have been halted.
At present, the only study known to delve on this substance is the thesis being conducted by a group of scientists, focusing on treating Werner’s disease by culturing Carnosine. According to the researchers, this study attempts to reverse or fight the effect of the said disease that is continuously claiming the lives of thousands by accelerating the maturity rate of their cells.
