Abstract
In glial tumors of human brain the content of homocarnosine has been found to be lower than in brain tissue. In experimental animals cranial injury induces an increase of homocarnosine in brain tissue. Stimulation of the nervous system of traumatized animals by phenamin brings the metabolism of homocarnosine back to normal. The results of these studies make us suppose that homocarnosine is a substance involved in brain activity.
