Dietary guanidinoacetic acid supplementation improves rumen metabolism, duodenal nutrient flux, and growth performance in lambs

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) is the only precursor of creatine, which is an important energy source for growth and metabolism. The degradation of guanidinoacetic acid in rumen plays a decisive role in its application in ruminant diet.

Association between dietary creatine intake and serum biomarkers of spermatogenesis in males aged 12 years and older

Reproduction and Fertility
Creatine is a nutrient that helps provide energy to different parts of the body, including the testes. Since making sperm takes a lot of energy, creatine might play a role in supporting sperm health. Some studies suggest it could help, while others raise

Value of MRI Outcomes for Preventive and Early‐Stage Trials in Spinocerebellar Ataxias 1 and 3

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To examine the value of MRI outcomes as endpoints for preventive and early‐stage trials of two polyglutamine spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs). Methods A cohort of 100 participants (23 SCA1, 63 SCA3, median Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) score = 5, 42% preataxic, and 14 gene‐negative controls) was scanned at 3T up ...

Movement Disorders in Aicardi–Goutières Syndrome and Response to Immunomodulation

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study characterizes movement disorders and treatment responses in seven children with Aicardi–Goutières syndrome (AGS). We retrospectively evaluated motor phenotypes, neuroimaging, and interferon signatures in patients treated with baricitinib or anifrolumab. Spasticity affected all patients, while dystonia was present in 4/7.

Low-Dosage Rumen Unprotected Creatine Precursor During the Transition Period in Single-Bearing Ewes Impacts Dynamic Changes in Muscle and Adipose Mass, Uterine Involution, and Fetal Programming Outcomes

Veterinary Sciences
Little is known about the reproductive impacts of the GAA, creatine precursor, in ruminants. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of GAA supply during the transition period in ewes with single pregnancies on their uterine involution.
