This study investigated the effects of creatine and sodium bicarbonate coingestion on mechanical power during repeated sprints. Nine well-trained men (age = 21.6 ± 0.9 yr, stature = 1.82 ± 0.05 m, body mass = 80.1 ±12.8 kg) participated in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, counterbalanced, crossover study using six 10-s repeated Wingate tests. Participants ingested either a placebo (0.5 g·kg(...

The crystal structure of the title compound, {[Ba(C4HO4)2(H2O)5]·H2O} n , consists of discrete double chains propagating along [010]. The chains are formed by Ba(II) ions linked by bridging hydrogen squarate ligands in a trans-bis-monodentate mode. In addition, the bridging hydrogen squarate ligands connect the chains into a ladder structure via a third coordinating O atom. The remaining coordi...

In the title compound, C(15)H(13)BrN(2)O(3)·H(2)O, the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 13.92 (6)°. The meth-oxy group of the 4-hy-droxy-3-meth-oxy-phenyl is almost coplanar with its bound benzene ring, as seen by the C(meth-yl)-O-C-C torsion angle of -0.35 (16)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into a three-dimensional network by N-H⋯O, O-H⋯N and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and a...

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of oral creatine supplementation on high intensity, intermittent exercise performance in competitive squash players. Nine squash players (mean +/- SEM VO2max = 61.9 +/- 2.1 ml x kg(-1) x min(-1); body mass = 73 +/- 3 kg) performed an on-court "ghosting" routine that involved 10 sets of 2 repetitions of simulated positional play, each set in...

The influence of temperature and relative air humidity on the stability of cefaclor monohydrate in crystalline form and in its pharmaceutical preparations (oral suspension and slow release tablets) was investigated. The process of degradation was studied by using high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet (UV) detection, as described in the monograph of cefaclor in European Pharmac...

The superposition model has been used to investigate the substitution of Mn in ammonium oxalate monohydrate. The zero field splitting parameters D and E calculated by the superposition model are compared with the experimental values Dexp and Eexp, respectively, for Mn obtained by electron paramagnetic resonance. Both the zero field splitting parameters D and E calculated theoretically are in go...

Introduction Most commercially-available dry powder inhaler (DPI) formulations utilize a carrier-based formulation concept. Utilizing a mixing process, micronized active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) particles are attached to the surface of larger excipient particles. Multiple studies list excipients such as mannitol, glucose monohydrate, trehalose, dextrose, maltose, sorbitol and maltitol fo...
