Genetic variation and plasma creatine kinase activity.
The distribution of plasma creatine kinase (CK; E.C.2.7.3.2) is known to be skewed, and this has made it difficult to analyse the sources of variation. We have studied plasma CK in 206 pairs of twins and have analysed the results after separating them into what appear to be two Gaussian frequency distributions. The results in the main distribution (CK less than 300 iu/1) are apparently affected...
متن کاملCreatine Kinase Activity and Cartilage Energy Metabolism: Creatine Kinase-creatine Phosphate Circuit Activity and Macromolecule Synthesis
Earlier studies showed that there is significant creatine kinase activity in the epiphyseal growth cartilage, and there is stage-specific isoform expression. To further explore the role of this enzyme in cartilage development, we disrupted the creatine kinase creatine phosphate (CK-CP) circuit using the creatine analogue, cyclocreatine. We found that while cyclocreatine decreased creatine kinas...
متن کاملCauses of increased plasma creatine kinase activity after surgery.
To determine whether drug reactions might play a role in postoperatively increased plasma enzyme activity, we measured creatine kinase (CK), and ornithine carbamoyl transferase (OCT) activities immediately before and on the 1st, 4th, and 8th day after 343 elective surgical procedures performed on 327 patients who had received various drugs pre-operatively. We saw no overt clinical evidence of m...
متن کاملNOVEL REAGENTS FOR CREATINE KINASE
The purpose of this investigation was to develop a simple colorimetric method for creatine kinase (CK). The new method is based on the reaction of creatine, formed enzymatically from creatine phosphate and ADP, with different glyoxal compounds. Hydrated glyoxals, such as para-nitrophenyl, 2-thiophene, 4- biphenyl, 4, 4' -biphenyl,α-naphthyl, β-naphthyl, para-chlorophenyl, and styryl were...
متن کاملThe Interventional Effect of Dry Cupping Therapy and Creatine Supplementation on Lactic Acid, Lactate Dehydrogenase and Creatine Kinase in Plasma Following Wingate Anaerobic Test in Male Handball Players
Introduction: Optimum recovery can prevent the athlete's functional capacity from falling between training sessions or competitions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of dry cupping therapy and creatine supplementation on lactic acid, lactate dehydrogenase and plasma creatine kinase following the Wingate anaerobic test in male handball players. Method: In this quasi-experimental...
