Just to be clear - Carnosine inhibits glycation processes, reducing the
amount of glycation that takes place. ALT-711 seems to break down existing
AGE's (Advanced Glycation Endproducts) in the body, restoring useful
function.
Carnosine seems potentially useful as a prophylactic, but I haven't seen
any evidence that use late in life can restore function, which is what
ALT-711 is being evaluated for.

I read the article, but think carnosine looks like the better
chemical agent
in this area.
See http://www.lef.org for more on carnosine.
