Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Histidine and β-alanine Supplementation on Human Muscle Carnosine Storage
Laura Blancquaert,Inge Everaert,Maarten Missinne,Audrey Baguet,Sanne Stegen,Anneke Volkaert,Mirko Petrovic,Chris Vervaet,Eric Achten,Mieke De Maeyer,Stefaan De Henauw,Wim Derave +11 more
TL;DR: It is confirmed that &bgr;-alanine, and not L-histidine, is the rate-limiting precursor for carnosine synthesis in human skeletal muscle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of sprint training combined with vegetarian or mixed diet on muscle carnosine content and buffering capacity
Audrey Baguet,Inge Everaert,Hélène De Naeyer,Harmen Reyngoudt,Sanne Stegen,Sam Beeckman,Eric Achten,Lander Vanhee,Anneke Volkaert,Mirko Petrovic,Youri Taes,Wim Derave +11 more
TL;DR: It is shown that 5 weeks sprint training has no effect on the muscle carnosine content and carnosinesine synthase mRNA expression and muscle buffering capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI
55Co-EDTA for renal imaging using positron emission tomography (PET): a feasibility study.
TL;DR: 55Co can be produced easily by cyclotron irradiation and 55Co-EDTA is a promising physiological tracer for nephrological research using PET, showing that the nature of the M++ has no influence on the in vivo behavior of EDTA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changing to a vegetarian diet reduces the body creatine pool in omnivorous women, but appears not to affect carnitine and carnosine homeostasis: a randomised trial.
Laura Blancquaert,Audrey Baguet,Tine Bex,Anneke Volkaert,Inge Everaert,Joris R. Delanghe,Mirko Petrovic,Chris Vervaet,Stefaan De Henauw,Dumitru Constantin-Teodosiu,Paul L. Greenhaff,Wim Derave +11 more
TL;DR: The body creatine pool declined over a 3-month vegetarian diet in omnivorous women, which was ameliorated when accompanied by low-dose dietary creatine supplementation and none of the carnitine-related compounds in plasma or muscle showed a significant time×group interaction effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of Positron Emission Tomography and X-ray radiography for studies of physical processes in sandstone
TL;DR: In this paper, the migration of moisture in cores of porous homogeneous sandstone of Ledian age (Belgian Eocene, Tertiary) is monitored with PET (P ositron E mission T omography) and micro-focus X-ray radiography.
