An 8-year-old boy with vitamin D-deficiency rickets, increased serum creatine kinase (CK), and hypocalcemia is described. At 5 years of age, he was evaluated because of recurrent tonic seizures. He had growth retardation, microcephaly, quadriplegia, mental retardation, and epilepsy. Muscle ...

Although increased serum creatine kinase (CK) activity in the presence of an increased level of myocardial-specific isoenzymes (CKMB) has been strongly associated with acute myocardial infarction, the significance of an increased serum CKMB level in the presence of a normal total CK level is ...

Summary What is known and objective The concomitant administration of atorvastatin and cyclosporine has been shown to increase the serum concentration of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A, which may be associated with the elevation of creatine kinase and an increased risk of myopathy. Our objective...
nmol/L were associated with an increased risk of 1-year mortality (hazard ratio = 3.0; 95% confidence interval: 1.4 to 6.3; P = 0.005), independent of age, previous myocardial infarction, prior angina, heart failure, serum creatinine level, and peak serum creatine kinase-MB fraction levels....
Creatine kinase (CK) is the most important element of the energy circuit that produces ATP from phosphocreatine reserves in the brain28and its activity is highly sensitive to free oxygen radicals29. Thus, we used its enzymatic activity to evaluate oxidative damage of the energy producing machinery...

Cardiac-specific troponin I levels to predict the risk of mortality in patients with acute coronary syndromes. BACKGROUND: In patients with acute coronary syndromes, it is desirable to identify a sensitive serum marker that is closely related to the degree of myocar... EM Antman,MJ Tanasijevic...
Changes in muscle proteins in serum after exercise were studied to evaluate the use of such pro- teins as indicators of increased nmscle membrane vul- nerability. Seventy-one women were asked to perform bicycle exercise for 45 min at a moderate load; four pro- teins (creatine kinase - CK...
