Creatine on its own has been shown to increase muscle mass because it can increase the body’s concentration of IGF-1, a hormone responsible for the growth of new muscle tissue. (3) For those looking for a creatine supplement with additional muscle-building benefits, Transparent Labs Creatine ...
A large body of evidence supports a specific metabolic function of proteolipid complexes containing MtCK and ANT [18], [21], [25], [88]. In peripheral contact sites, co-localization of MtCK with ANT, direct interaction of MtCK with VDAC, and possibly also the diffusion limitations at the ...
Thus, CrM may be beneficial in AD because loss of lean body mass, primarily skeletal muscle, has been cross-sectionally associated with AD [92]. However, prospective studies show that muscle function and strength are better predictors for reducing risk of developing AD compared with maintenance ...

The body weight of PV::CrTfl−/y mice was slightly lower than that measured for PV::CrTfl+/y littermates (Additional file 1: Fig. S8). Since we previ- ously showed that the performance in the Y maze can accurately discriminate between mutant and wild-type animals in our whole-...
Crucially, adults with a higher weekly alcohol consumption had significantly lower levels of creatine, suggesting a deficit in their hippocampal metabolism. These findings add to an increasing body of evidence linking alcohol to hippocampal function....
Although most of the total body’s creatine is found in skeletal muscle, the brain is also a very metabolically active tissue, accounting for up to 20% of the body’s energy consumption [9,10]. Creatine kinase (CK), a main enzyme involved in the ATP/CK/PCr system, is also expressed ...
Creatine Enhances the Effects of Cluster-Set Resistance Training on Lower-Limb Body Composition and Strength in Resistance-Trained Men: A Pilot Study. Nutrients 2021, 13, 2303. [Google Scholar] [CrossRef] Antonio, J.; Candow, D.G.; Forbes, S.C.; Gualano, B.; Jagim, A.R.; Kreider,...
Poor body composition and declining physical function are highly prevalent with aging, so older adults are a subpopulation of special interest when examining the health effects of creatine supplementation. Interventional studies found that creatine supplementation combined with resistance or strength training ...
1. Introduction Creatine or methylguanidino-acetic acid, whose chemical formula is C4H9N3O2, is an amino acid present in foods of animal origin (e.g., meat and fish) that is produced within our body and is currently available in powder and pills, especially for its widespread employment in...
