Reproducibility of carnosine measurement in the calf
muscles was tested on 5 volunteers by STEAM sequence
with very good results of CV (6.3% for SOL, 9.1% for
GM). Effect of one hour running on carnosine
concentration was examined on 7 volunteers, which did
not prove to be significant. However, changes in the
shape of the carnosine peak appeared, in form of its
widening or splitting and also its shift. As carnosine
is pH sensitive, we suppose it is a consequence of
different use of carnosine buffering capacity in
oxidative and glycolytic muscle fibres leading to
different pH in these compartments.
