Patient safety and estimation of renal function in patients prescribed new oral anticoagulants for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: In clinical trials of dabigatran and rivaroxaban for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF), drug eligibility and dosing were determined using the Cockcroft-Gault equation to estimate creatine clearance as a measure of renal function ...

Interference by creatine with determination of serum creatine kinase.
We assayed creatine kinase (EC 2.7.3.2) activity in normal serum and in specimens obtained from patients with high serum creatinine by four automated methods: (a) the Technicon SMA 12/60, (b) the Technicon AutoAnalyzer Ii, (c) the Abbott Bichromatic Analyzer, and ( the Aminco Rotochem. Activity blanks were assayed with the AutoAnalyzer II system.

Frequency Domain Properties and Fundamental Limits of Buffer-Feedback Regulation in Biochemical Systems [PDF]
Feedback regulation in biochemical systems is fundamental to homeostasis, with failure causing disease or death. Recent work has found that cooperation between feedback and buffering---the use of reservoirs of molecules to maintain molecular concentrations---is often critical for biochemical regulation, and that buffering can act as a derivative or ...

Determination of creatinine and creatine by capillary electrophoresis : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Chemistry at Massey University [PDF]
The assessment of creatinine and creatine in biological fluids is important in the evaluation of renal and muscular functions. For routine creatinine determinations in the clinical laboratory, the most frequently used method is the spectrophotometric one

Nitrogen metabolism of the isolated tissues of the rat [PDF]
Little study has been devoted to the anabolic aspects of nitrogen metabolism in animals. The reason, of course, has been the difficulty of obtaining experimental conditions in which these can be observed, measured, and analyzed.

Impaired cardiac contractile function in arginine:glycine amidinotransferase knockout mice devoid of creatine is rescued by homoarginine but not creatine [PDF]
Aims: Creatine buffers cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) via the creatine kinase reaction. Creatine levels are reduced in heart failure, but their contribution to pathophysiology is unclear.
