Contractile Performance and Energy Utilization of Skeletal Muscle; Creatine Kinase and Acto-myosin ATPase
Creatine kinase (CK) primarily serves as an energy buffer assisting in regulating ATP homeostasis through synthesis of ATP from ADP and phosphocreatine (PCr). This enzyme is bound in the sarcomere near sites of ATP consumption via acto-myosin ATPase (A‧M‧ATPase) and research in cardiac muscle has …

Examining the Effects of Deer Antler Velvet Supplementation on Muscular Strength, Performance, and Markers of Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness.
… test, and a 70% performance trial were measured. Creatine kinase and self-reported soreness levels were measured following an eccentric trial.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> No pre-experimental significant differences existed between the groups for any of the variables measured. There were no …

The effect of antioxidant vitamins on muscle damage during a 50-mile endurance ride in horses
Plasma markers of muscle cell damage, creatine kinase and aspartate aminotransferase, were measured in the serum of 32 endurance exercised horses during a 50-mile endurance ride to determine if supplemental vitamin E singly or in combination with vitamin C could be effective in preventing …

Direct Comparison of Acute Responses to Isotonic Or Isokinetic Eccentric Muscle Action: Implications For Differential Outcomes In Skeletal Muscle Damage
… for strength, perceived muscular soreness and creatine kinase activity up to 48-h post exercise. Results: Total work (~1,700 J) and peak torque (~ 265 Nm) significantly decreased over the 200 repetitions (p < 0.01), but was not different between the groups. All surrogate markers of muscle …

A comparison of muscle damage, soreness, morphology, T2 changes and running performance following an ultramarathon race
… increased levels of muscle proteins, such as creatine kinase, in the blood and delayed onset of muscle soreness. Magnetic resonance imaging has been used to gain insight in to the underlying mechanisms associated with exercise induced muscle damage. The most common approach has focused on …

Carrier detection in Duchenne muscular dystrophy
… DMD carrier status is the estimation of serum creatine kinase activity. However, approximately one third of genetic carriers remain undetected by this method. This study was designed to evaluate other possible methods of DMD heterozygote recognition with a view to improving the carrier …

Gene expression profiling of myostatin null mice
… acid and derivative metabolism - specifically creatine biosynthesis and metabolism, development, muscle contraction, transport, and Wnt receptor signaling. Real Time PCR (RT-PCR) was employed to validate genes associated with each of these processes in the tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius, and …

Carbohydrate Supplementation and Resistance Exercise Performance in Males Undergoing Energy Restriction
… exercise performance, cortisol levels, and creatine kinase levels in trained males undergoing energy restriction. Sixteen experimental subjects were randomly assigned to a carbohydrate (C, n=8) or placebo group (P, n=8). The remaining six subjects served as controls (N). Performance tests …

Regulation of Glycogenolysis in Anaerobic Skeletal Muscle
… ATP derived from glycogenolysis. ATP produced by creatine kinase is used mostly by force-dependent ATP consuming processes, primarily the actomyosin-ATPase. Although prior evidence of sub-cytosolic metabolic compartmentation exists, the majority of these studies are not in intact cells or tissues. …

Statin-associated skeletal muscle damage and its interactions with novel or accustomed exercise
… Caspase-9 were measured by western blot, plasma creatine kinase (CK) was assessed by activity assay. Results: Statin treatment did not significantly impact RW activity, however both sedentary and novel-exercise groups showed decrements in muscle force and fatigability with statin treatment. The …

Pre-slaughter factors affecting mobility, blood parameters, bruising, and muscle pH of finished beef cattle in the United States
… collected on animals and analyzed for cortisol, creatine kinase, and lactate. Carcass bruising was scored using a modified version of the National Beef Quality Audit's bruise scoring methodology (i.e., no bruise, one bruise that was ≤ the size of a deck of cards, one bruise that was > than the …

A review of cases of motor neurone disease seen at Groote Schuur Hospital from 2005 to 2010
… in patients with higher CSF protein and blood creatine kinase levels at baseline. Furthermore, age of onset of the disease would be younger in familial compared with sporadic MND. I also hypothesized that smoking and certain occupational exposures might be risk factors for MND, that there would …

Green tea extract and epigallocatechin gallate decrease muscle pathology and NF-κB immunostaining in regenerating muscle fibers of mdx mice
… extract (0.25% and 0.5%) treated mdx mice, serum creatine kinase, a systemic marker of muscle damage, was decreased by 85% at age 42 days. Normal fiber morphology in the tibialis anterior muscle was increased by 32% at this age (P≤0.05). The primary histopathological change was a 21% decrease in …
