background: malnutrition is prevalent among patients hospitalized in intensive care units (icus) and causes various complications. dietary supplementation to provide appropriate nutritional support may reduce the malnutrition and complications through improvement in nutritional status. this study was carried out to assess the association between dietary supplementation and malnutrition among pa...

Abstract Background & Aims: In regard to the limited studies about the effect of creatine on exercise-induced inflammatory responses, the present study was conducted to identify the effect of creatine monohydrate loading on response of serum C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and peripheral blood leucocytes following one bout downhill running in male mountain climbers. Methods: Twen...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of creatine monohydrate supplementation on exercise performance and contractile variables in aerobic-anaerobic training rats. Twenty 90-day-old male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into two groups - creatine (Cr) and controls (K). The creatine group received creatine monohydrate as a nutritional supplement, whereas the control group was ...

Exercise induced muscle damage occurs following strenuous and unfamiliar exercise results in biomarkers of inflammation the circulation. Creatine (Cr) is a commonly utilized nutritional supplement which has been proposed to enhance post-exercise recovery suggested decrease inflammation. well recognized be beneficial for older adults maintain skeletal mass strength as promote health other biolog...

AIM Creatine is an endogenous molecule synthesized in the liver, kidney and pancreas from glycine and arginine and is important for mitochondrial metabolism. It is widely used as a supplement for improving muscle mass and function for many years. As it is expected to prevent apoptosis and diminish oxidative stress, it is also studied in a number of neurodegenerative diseases for its beneficial ...

Protein and other compounds can exert anabolic effects on skeletal muscle, particularly in conjunction with exercise. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of twice daily consumption of a protein-based, multi-ingredient nutritional supplement to increase strength and lean mass independent of, and in combination with, exercise in healthy older men. Forty-nine healthy older men...

The use of nutritional supplements in sport is widespread, and few serious athletes do not, at some stage in their career succumb to the temptation to experiment with one or more nutritional supplements. Supplementation is particularly prevalent among strength and power athletes, where an increase in muscle mass can benefit performance. Protein supplements have not been shown to be effective ex...

the aim of this study was to examine the concurrent consumption of creatine and resistance training on flexion strength of biceps brachii in female physical education students in their last semester. for this purpose, 30 students were randomly selected and divided into three groups: the experimental group 1 (age: 19.8 ± 1.4 yr, weight: 53.9 ± 4.4 kg, height: 162 ± 4.4 cm), experimental group 2 ...

Background Athletes use ergogenic aids in an attempt to increase training-adaptations, which serves to enhance their performance during competition. Creatine monohydrate is one of the most studied ergogenic aids. Although many studies have reported the efficacy and effectiveness of creatine monohydrate supplement manufacturers continually introduce newer forms of creatine into the marketplace. ...

Impairment or interruption of oxygen supply compromises brain function and plays a role in neurological and neurodegenerative conditions. Creatine is a naturally occurring compound involved in the buffering, transport, and regulation of cellular energy, with the potential to replenish cellular adenosine triphosphate without oxygen. Creatine is also neuroprotective in vitro against anoxic/hypoxi...
