Creatine has been shown to increase the total muscle mass. In this study, we investigated the effect of oral creatine monohydrate supplementation on cross-sectional area of type I, IIA and IIB fibers of gastrocnemius, extensor digitorum longus - EDL and soleus muscles from male Wistar rats subjected to swimming training for 33 days. Four groups were set up: sedentary with no supplementation (CO...

BACKGROUND Chronic supplementation with creatine monohydrate has been shown to promote increases in total intramuscular creatine, phosphocreatine, skeletal muscle mass, lean body mass and muscle fiber size. Furthermore, there is robust evidence that muscular strength and power will also increase after supplementing with creatine. However, it is not known if the timing of creatine supplementatio...

Background: Lung cancer is a chronic respiratory disease that causes muscle dysfunction. Giving creatine monohydrate supplementation combined with exercise has efficacy in increasing lean body mass (LBM), strength, and physical function. This study aims to analyze the effect of combination upper limb on skeletal dysfunction NSCLC patients.Methods: A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest patients ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate an effect betaine and creatine monohydrate supplementation on chemical composition, meat quality, oxidative stability pork in pigs genotyped mutation RYR1 gene. Totally, sixty – crosses Lx(HAxPN) were involved the experiment. Pigs divided one homozygous (NN) control (C1), three heterozygous (Nn) groups, each group including 15 animals. One Nn (C2) two group...

PURPOSE Studies that have attributed gains in lean body mass to dietary supplementation during resistance exercise (RE) training have not reported these changes alongside adaptations at the cellular and subcellular levels. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of two popular supplements--whey protein (WP) and creatine monohydrate (CrM) (both separately and in combinati...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of oral supplementation of creatine on the muscular responses to aerobic training. Twelve purebred Arabian horses were submitted to aerobic training for 90 d, with and without creatine supplementation, and evaluated with respect to BW and BCS and to the area and frequency of the different types of muscle fibers in the gluteus medius. Su...
