in their narrative review, commonly used beta-alanine supplementation protocols do not come close to saturating muscle carnosine content, providing scope to optimize supplementation strategies to increase muscle carnosine content. Human skeletal muscle has a large capacity for muscle carnosine accumulation and effectually all individuals respond to beta-alanine supplementation (albeit with large variability in the magnitude of the response). The analytical model showed that muscle carnosine is relatively stable in skeletal muscle in the absence of supplementation. performed a systematic review and meta-analysis on studies that measured the muscle carnosine response to beta-alanine supplementation. This brief editorial summarizes and highlights some of these novel findings, beginning with the intracellular buffer beta-alanine. Collectively, Nutritional Buffering Strategies to Improve Exercise Capacity and Performance provided a consolidated platform for researchers to come together and disseminate novel data that are redefining our understanding and implementation of these nutritional strategies.

Although exogenous buffering supplementation has been studied for close to 100 years ( 3), numerous questions remain (both applied and mechanistic), which ultimately provided the impetus for this research topic. A large body of work has demonstrated the efficacy of nutritional interventions, such as beta-alanine and sodium bicarbonate supplementation, that appear to support endogenous buffering mechanisms tasked with maintaining systemic pH during high rates of anaerobic metabolism, such as prolonged high-intensity exercise ( 1, 2). Neither of its dining rooms have reopened since the pandemic hit.Research has demonstrated that a decline in muscle pH can inhibit contractile function and is a significant contributor within the fatigue paradigm associated with prolonged, high intensity exercise performance.

In addition to Google, there are multiple other apartments and businesses in that area, and for the most part, people just walk to Whole Foods for lunch.”Ĭurtis Park Deli fared well during the pandemic, thanks to the fact that its business model was set up perfectly for takeout only. “The area we’re going into is, for all intents and purposes, a walkable food desert. “Boulder has always been really good about supporting local businesses and trying to get local businesses to come in there,” Harrison said. That was another reason the owners were interested, since catering is a big part of the business. The new location, which will have the same name and menu, is across the street from Google’s campus in Boulder. Zach Cytryn with Broad Street Realty represented Curtis Park Deli in the deal. They’ve hired Frontline Design + Development to design the space. Harrison and Reif leased the new 1,300-square-foot space at the end of October and are aiming for an April 2022 opening. Owners Michael Reif, left, and Dashiell Harrison.Ĭurtis Park Deli is known for its limited menu of nine sandwiches, such as the “Curtis” corn beef sub or the “Park” with a fried egg and prosciutto, and fresh bread is delivered every morning. It wasn’t Boulder or die, but this space was a no brainer.” “The culture is really in sync with how we run our business and, to be honest, it was a spot we couldn’t pass up. “We love Boulder, especially since my partner Mike is an alum of CU,” he added. “We’ve been wanting to take advantage of being in a mixed-use property for a while, so we were looking for something like that when this spot in Boulder popped up.” “Our first preference was somewhere in DTC, but we couldn’t find the right location that wasn’t abhorrently expensive,” Harrison said. Harrison said they began looking for a third location not long before the pandemic. in 2011 in the Curtis Park neighborhood and its second in 2018 at 2700 E. Owners Michael Reif and Dashiell Harrison opened Curtis Park Deli’s original location at 2532 Champa St. The local deli plans to open a third location on the ground floor of the Reve apartment complex at 3000 Pearl Parkway in Boulder in the spring. Curtis Park Deli is known for its limited menu of freshly made sandwiches, including the “Curtis” corned beef sub shown here.
