Effects of i.p. administration of histidine (His) and carnosine (Car) to control or TAA-treated rats on the His and Car concentration in rat brain cortex

	Control	TAA	His	Car	TAA + His	TAA + Car
His (µM)	425.5 ± 102.6	528.9 ± 127.7	328.3 ± 80.0	378.2 ± 82.3	334.8 ± 90.7	512.5 ± 118.2
Car (µM)	28.6 ± 1.9	24.2 ± 0.8*	35. 3 ± 2.0#	31.4 ± 2.1	38.5 ± 2.7#	30.7 ± 2.9

Results are presented as mean ± SD (n = 6). Statistical significance was calculated using one-way ANOVA analysis of variance with post hoc Bonferroni’s test
