Psychiatry related information on creatine

 

High impact information on creatine

  • Finally, mice either lacking or misexpressing different isoforms of creatine kinase have been useful for understanding the detailed role of this important enzyme in cellular energy metabolism [13].
  • Experiments using a transgenic mouse expressing creatine kinase in liver to understand ATP catabolism and regulation of oxidative phosphorylation are discussed [13].
  • PAPP-A levels correlated with levels of C-reactive protein and free IGF-I, but not with markers of myocardial injury (troponin I and the MB isoform of creatine kinase) [14].
  • METHODS: Among 1265 patients with unstable angina who were enrolled in the c7E3 Fab Antiplatelet Therapy in Unstable Refractory Angina (CAPTURE) trial, serum samples drawn at the time of randomization to abciximab or placebo were available from 890 patients; we used these samples for the determination of troponin T and creatine kinase MB levels [15].
  • Interstitial nephritis in a patient taking creatine [16].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of creatine

 

Biological context of creatine

  • In transient transfection assays Jun inhibits transactivation of the MyoD promoter, the muscle creatine kinase enhancer, and a reporter gene linked to MyoD DNA-binding sites [22].
  • Seven mothers of isolated patients who had normal levels of creatine phosphokinase and no daughters with elevated levels were identified as carriers, because their mean value of peak II phosphorylation was increased (75.9 pmoles per milligram per 15 minutes) and equivalent to the level demonstrated in the 14 acknowledged carriers [23].
  • Patients with subtotal obstruction initially had significant improvement in left ventricular function, significantly lower peak creatine kinase levels, and a trend toward lower mortality than patients with total occlusion initially [24].
  • MyoD is a sequence-specific DNA binding protein requiring a region of myc homology to bind to the muscle creatine kinase enhancer [25].
  • Transfection experiments indicate that over-expression of Id inhibits the trans-activation of the muscle creatine kinase enhancer by MyoD [26].
