Researcher from Kanazawa University Describes Findings in Autism Spectrum Disorders (Oral Supplementation of L-Carnosine Attenuates Acute-Stress-Induced Corticosterone Release and Mitigates Anxiety in CD157 Knockout Mice).

The article investigates how L-carnosine, a dipeptide, influences stress and anxiety in CD157 knockout mice, a model for autism spectrum disorders (ASD). It finds that L-carnosine supplementation reduces acute stress-induced corticosterone release and mitigates anxiety-like behaviors in these mice. Topics include the role of corticosterone in stress regulation, the effect of L-carnosine on stress responses, and its potential benefits for managing anxiety in ASD.
