Muscle buffering capacity and dipeptide content in the Thoroughbred horse, Greyhound dog and man

1. 1. Muscle buffering capacity ( βm) and dipeptide content were measured in locomotory muscles of the Thoroughbred horse. Greyhound dog and Man. 2. 2. β m and carnosine contents were highest in the horse. Anserine was only found in dog muscle. 3. 3. The higher βm in horse and dog muscle, compared w...

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