摘 要:摘 要: L- 肌肽(β- 丙氨酸-L- 组氨酸) 在哺乳动物骨骼肌中合成。L- 肌肽可影响自主神经系统相关的生理功能,通过影响所支配器官和组织的交感及副交感神经活性引起血压、血糖、食欲、脂质分解和产热等生理功能的变化。然而,由L- 肌肽引发的生理功能的变化又能因组胺H1、 H3 受体拮抗剂或生物钟主钟视交叉上核(SCN) 双侧损伤而解除。因此,主要概述在生物钟和组胺能神经的参与下,L- 肌肽通过自主神经途径调节血糖、血压、脂质分解和产热等生理机能的相关研究进展。

Abstract: Abstract: L-carnosine (β-alanyl-L-histidine) is synthesized in mammalian skeletal muscle. It is reported that L-carnosine affects physiological functions through the autonomic nerves system. In particular, L-carnosine affects the activity of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves to further induce changes in blood pressure, blood glucose, appetite, lipolysis and thermogenesis. The changes in physiological functions mediated by L-carnosine are eliminated by histamine H1 or H3 receptor antagonists and bilateral lesions of the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), a master circadian clock. This article briefly reviews the advances on the effects of L-carnosine on physiological functions such as blood glucose, blood pressure, lipolysis, and thermogenesis via autonomic nerves system and with the involvement of the circadian clock and histaminergic neurons.
