Biomarkers and Long-term Labour Market Outcomes: The Case of Creatine Using the Young Finns Study (YFS) combined with the Finnish Linked Employer-Employee Data (FLEED) we show that quantities of creatine measured in 1980 prior to labour market entry affect labour market outcomes over the period 1990-2010. Those with higher levels of creatine (proxied by urine creatinine) prior to labour market ...

background and aim: creatine is an energy-supplying protein in neuromuscular system with a protective role in relieving neurological symptoms. since the enzymes and other mechanism involved in the conversion of creatine in the inner ear and vestibular nuclei are found in abundance, the aim of this study was to measure the effects of creatine on cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cv...

background: bone marrow stromal stem cells (bmsc) are appropriate source of multipotent stem cells that are ideally suited for use in various cell-based therapies. it can be differentiated into neuronal-like cells under appropriate conditions. this study examined the effectiveness of co-stimulation of creatine and retinoic acid in increasing the differentiation of bmsc into gabaergic neuron-lik...

PURPOSE To assess the effects of creatine supplementation, associated or not with strength training, upon emotional and cognitive measures in older woman. METHODS This is a 24-week, parallel-group, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial. The individuals were randomly allocated into one of the following groups (n=14 each): 1) placebo, 2) creatine supplementation, 3) placebo associa...

Schrire (1937) found that patients with an acidophil tumour of the pituitary excreted creatine in the urine, and this was later confirmed (Cumings, 1944). It was also shown in the latter paper that the fasting blood creatine was raised above the normal in acromegaly, and the results of a creatine tolerance test were given in five cases of pituitary disorders. The cause of the creatinaemia and c...

A 72 year old woman presented with a suspected myocardial infarction. An echocardiograph showed no acute changes but her plasma creatine kinase (CK) activity was increased at 343 U/l (< 175 normal range). The apparent creatine kinase-MB activity by a CK-M subunit immunoinhibition assay was 350 U/l. In view of the discrepancy between the total creatine kinase and CK-MB activity plasma creatine k...
