BACKGROUND Whether creatine-kinase (CK) is elevated or not in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and its variants is not comprehensively investigated. CASE REPORT We report the case of a 47-year-old male who developed weakness of the left lower leg and the right index finger at
In adults, macromolecular creatine kinase (CK) type 1 has been linked to ulcerative colitis (UC), but not to Crohn's disease (CD). We present two patients with pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in which macrocreatine kinase (macro-CK) type 1 led to the final diagnosis of UC. A 13 year old
BACKGROUND
Obesity is associated with inflammation, but the role of lean mass and creatine kinase (CK) on the inflammatory process is less known. We investigated the associations between lean mass, CK and fat mass upon inflammatory parameters in an overweight and obese adult population.
METHODS
Body
Heart and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI) and cardiomyopathy syndrome (CMS) are putative viral cardiac diseases of Atlantic salmon. This study examined the levels and correlated the serum enzymes creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) to the histopathology of clinical outbreaks of
We examined if two different dietary interventions affected markers of soreness and inflammation over a 5-day high-volume resistance training protocol in females that resistance-trained 8 weeks prior. Twenty-eight females (age: 20 ± 1 yr; body mass: 63.5 ± 1.6 kg, height: 1.67 ± 0.01 m) completed 4
The study purpose was to evaluate the effectiveness of creatine monohydrate supplementation (20 grams/day for 1 week and then 5 grams/day for 11 weeks) on inflammation (C-reactive protein, interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, s100 A8/A9, and tumor necrosis factor-α) and cartilage degradation (serum
Inflammation of rat hypodermic tissue was accompanied by an increase in activity of lysosomal glycosidases beta-D-galactosidase and beta-D-glucuronidase in the proliferating tissue and in some other preparations studied. Activation of lactate dehydrogenase/LDH/in exudate of inflamed tissues
A major problem in treating inflammatory myopathies is the very limited information available about the processes taking place. For instance serum creatine kinase levels are often dismissed as a means of gaining an understanding of what is happening or a means of monitoring a patient. This paper
The disturbance of myocardial energy metabolism has been discussed as contributing to the progression of heart failure. Little however is known about the cardiac mitochondrial/cytosolic energy transfer in murine and human inflammatory heart disease. We examined the myocardial creatine kinase (CK)
Creatine is an aminoacid which has been found to posses anti-inflammatory activity. It is orally effective in modifying the inflammatory response in all of the test models employed. It does not produce gastrointestinal ulceration in the effective doses. In common with many of the nonsteroidal
Background: A chronic, low-grade inflammation is commonly present in older adults and has been associated with the onset of age-related chronic diseases. Resistance training (RT) and creatine (CR) supplementation emerged as promising
BACKGROUND
Specific guanidino compounds have been described as uraemic toxins and their concentrations are increased in renal failure due to dimished glomerular filtration, whereas the guanidino compound creatine is used as a performance-enhancing substance in athletes. The present study
The protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi triggers an inflammatory process in mammalian heart causing events such as fibrosis, changes in the architecture and functionality in this organ. Enalapril, an angiotensin II-converting enzyme inhibitor, is a drug prescribed to ameliorate this heart dysfunction, and
Thirty-six male rats were used; divided into 6 groups (n = 6): saline; creatine (Cr); eccentric exercise (EE) plus saline 24 h (saline + 24 h); eccentric exercise plus Cr 24 h (Cr + 24 h); eccentric exercise plus saline 48 h (saline + 48 h); and eccentric exercise plus Cr 48 h (Cr + 48 h). Cr
BACKGROUND
Previous studies have reported endothelial dysfunction and inflammatory cytokine in heart failure patients (HF).
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of creatine monohydrate and exercise on inflammatory and endothelial dysfunction markers among HF
