Muscle buffering capacity and dipeptide content in the Thoroughbred horse, Greyhound dog and man (original) (raw)

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology a Comparative Physiology, 1990

Abstract

1. Muscle buffering capacity (beta m) and dipeptide content were measured in locomotory muscles of the Thoroughbred horse, Greyhound dog and Man. 2. Beta m and carnosine contents were highest in the horse. Anserine was only found in dog muscle. 3. The higher beta m in horse and dog muscle, compared with man, appears to be predominantly due to higher muscle contents of histidine containing dipeptides in these species.
