Ablation of adipocyte creatine transport impairs thermogenesis and causes diet-induced obesity
Depleting creatine levels in thermogenic adipocytes by inhibiting creatine biosynthesis reduces thermogenesis and causes obesity. However, whether creatine import from the circulation affects adipocyte thermogenesis is unknown. Here we show that deletion

The role of supplementation in traumatic brain injury among athletes and non-athletes population
Introduction: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the most common causes of death and long-term disability. The consequences following TBI can be persistent and cause life-long implications for survivors.

Creatine supplementation: facts and myths
Introduction: Creatine (N-methylguanidinoacetic acid) is a peptide built of three amino acids: glycine, arginine and methionine. Its function is to store energy. It is common practice to intake creatine as a dietary supplement.

Methionine formation by transmethylation in vitro [PDF]
We reported in a previous communication (1) that guanidoacetic acid is methylated to creatine by rat liver slices in the presence of choline and either homocysteine or homocystine.

Muscle carnosine metabolism and β-alanine supplementation in relation to exercise and training [PDF]
Carnosine is a dipeptide with a high concentration in mammalian skeletal muscle. It is synthesized by carnosine synthase from the amino acids L-histidine and beta-alanine, of which the latter is the rate-limiting precursor, and degraded by carnosinase ...

Ketogenic Diet Plus Resistance Training Applied to Physio-Pathological Conditions: A Brief Review
The ketogenic diet (KD) is a nutritional strategy characterized by a reduced intake of carbohydrates (between 30 and 45 g per day or ≈5% of one’s total calories from this macronutrient).

The formation of glycocyamine in animal tissues [PDF]
It was shown in preceding communications that glycocyamine is converted into creatine by surviving liver slices (1). Our findings indicated that the methylating agent is methionine or a derivative of methionine.

Specific lid-base contacts in the 26s proteasome control the conformational switching required for substrate degradation. [PDF]
The 26S proteasome is essential for proteostasis and the regulation of vital processes through ATP-dependent degradation of ubiquitinated substrates. To accomplish the multi-step degradation process, the proteasomes regulatory particle, consisting of lid
