Creatine protects against excitoxicity in an in vitro model of neurodegeneration. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Creatine has been shown to be neuroprotective in aging, neurodegenerative conditions and brain injury. As a common molecular background, oxidative stress and disturbed cellular energy homeostasis are key aspects in these conditions. Moreover, in a recent

Structural Investigations of Creatine Kinase [PDF]

open access: yes, 1987
X-ray crystallographic and other structural studies have been carried out on creatine kinase isolated from rabbit skeletal muscle. As a consequence of the exploration of a wide range of crystallisation conditions, a previously unreported crystal form of ...

Creatine Kinase and Blood Pressure: A Systematic Review

open access: yesMedical Sciences, 2019
Background: Hypertension is a main risk factor for premature death. Although blood pressure is a complex trait, we have shown that the activity of the ATP-generating enzyme creatine kinase (CK) is a significant predictor of blood pressure and of failure ...

High Creatine Kinase (CK)-MB and Lactate Dehydrogenase in the Absence of Myocardial Injury or Infarction: A Case Report [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Research, 2014
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a life threatening condition that needs emergency diagnosis and early treatment in the emergency room. Rapid laboratory testing for creatine kinase (CK)-MB greatly revolutionized the diagnosis and management of acute ...

Match play performance characteristics that predict post-match creatine kinase responses in professional rugby union players [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background: Rugby union players can take several days to fully recover from competition. Muscle damage induced during the match has a major role in player recovery; however the specific characteristics of match play that predict post-match muscle damage ...

Mean Serum Creatine Kinase among Organophosphate Poisoning Cases in a Tertiary Care Centre: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study

open access: yesJournal of Nepal Medical Association, 2022
Introduction: Major cases of poisoning are associated with organophosphates. Cholinergic effects and an intermediate phase seen with organophosphate poisoning may implicate myopathy. Creatine kinase is a marker of muscle tissue damage.

Creatine kinase elevation and discontinuation of clozapine: fear-driven clinical practice in a forensic case with treatment-resistant schizophrenia and persistent violent behaviour

open access: yesBJPsych Open, 2021
In forensic settings, the most common indication for clozapine is treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS). Clozapine has also been shown to be effective in reducing hostility, aggression and violence in patients with schizophrenia and is of benefit in ...

Regulation of T cell development and activation by creatine kinase B.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
Creatine kinase catalyzes the reversible transfer of the N-phosphoryl group from phosphocreatine to ADP to generate ATP and plays a key role in highly energy-demanding processes such as muscle contraction and flagellar motility; however, its role in ...
