Previous studies have reported low serum creatine kinase (s-CK) levels as a poor prognostic factor in various cancers. However, there have been no reports on its significance in hepatocellular carcinoma. The present study aimed to evaluate the association of the preoperative s-CK lev...

Creatine kinase has been found in hamster striated muscle and nervous tissue, and its level is used to diagnose myopathies, muscular dystrophies, and cardiac necrosis in this species. The Syrian hamster has a hereditary myopathy characterized by increased CK levels up to 730 IU/l compared to ...
The existence of tissue and compartment-specific isoenzymes of creatine kinase (CK) is an important property of this long-known enzyme [11] and a key to its functions in cellular energy metabolism. Most vertebrate tissues express two CK isoenzymes, a dimeric cytosolic and a mostly octameric MtC...
CK-MB is a form of creatine kinase; it is found mostly in the heart muscle. Levels of CK-MB rise after a patient has sustained damage to the heart muscle. Why is the test used? The test is used primarily to check if a patient has had a heart attack; levels of CK-MB increase if...
Summary. The significance of the absolute elevations of serum creatine kinase (CK) levels after intense exercise and injuries was studied by measuring CK activities from seven healthy active males during a 2-week period, with a muscle biopsy taken between the first and second week. Most of the...

The creatine kinase system is integral to energy homeostasis, cardiovascular contraction, and ischemic resistance; however, there is insufficient evidence to consider a place in therapy for creatine in heart failure or myocardial infarction. There is some evidence from trial data that creatine as an ...
low levels in normal individuals, however it can be detected in someone with a heart attack about 3–6 hours after the onset of acute chest pain, with a peak at 12–24 hours and then return to normal at about 48–72 hours. Creatine kinase and CK-MB have also been investigated ...
