UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009132	Muscles	Contractile tissue that produces movement in animals.	Muscle Tissue,Muscle,Muscle Tissues,Tissue, Muscle,Tissues, Muscle
D010455	Peptides	Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS.	Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides
D002336	Carnosine	A naturally occurring dipeptide neuropeptide found in muscles.	Carnosine Hydrochloride,Carnosine, (D-His)-Isomer,L-Carnosine,beta-Alanylhistidine,Hydrochloride, Carnosine,L Carnosine,beta Alanylhistidine
D000861	Anserine	A dipeptide containing BETA-ALANINE.	Balanine,Beta-Alanyl-3-Methylhistidine,Ophidine,Beta Alanyl 3 Methylhistidine
D054792	Muscle, Striated	One of two types of muscle in the body, characterized by the array of bands observed under microscope. Striated muscles can be divided into two subtypes: the CARDIAC MUSCLE and the SKELETAL MUSCLE.	Striated Muscle,Muscles, Striated,Striated Muscles
D018482	Muscle, Skeletal	A subtype of striated muscle, attached by TENDONS to the SKELETON. Skeletal muscles are innervated and their movement can be consciously controlled. They are also called voluntary muscles.
