Unfortunately L-carnosine when administered topically on its own is destroyed by the enzyme, carnosinase, a dipeptidase present in blood plasma.
The following enzyme/buffer combinations were used: alanine aminotransferase (ALAT), arginine kinase (ARGK), cytosol nonspecific dipeptidase (PEPA), mannose-6-phosphate isomerase (MPI), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) on TRIS-GLY ph 8.
Piperine also stimulated Leucine amino peptidase and Glycyl-glycine dipeptidase activity, due to the alteration in enzyme kinetics.
