In this study, we tested the hypothesis that cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG), an important mediator of NO ... Both proteins are secretory products of synthetic smooth muscle cells, and it was of ...

Most everyone knows creatine. It’s the supplement boosting muscle strength and performance for many. But what about its ...

For example, blood tests of an enzyme called creatine kinase offer a rough estimate of how much muscle damage you’ve sustained. Normal levels are around 100 units per litre; that can soar to 1,000 ...

A 24-year-old beginner at the gym suffered rhabdomyolysis, a dangerous condition where skeletal muscle tissue breaks down rapidly, releasing its contents, after pushing herself too much at the spin ...

Creatine is one of the few (alongside protein powder) that lives up to the hype. It’s been studied to death for its ability to boost strength, enhance exercise performance, and promote muscle ...

Conversely, in the creatine group, muscle GLUT4 protein was stable (+9% NS). In the placebo group, the rehabilitation training restored muscle GLUT4 content within 3 weeks to the baseline value ...

Several studies have shown through chemical inhibitors that p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) promotes vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) differentiation. Here, we evaluate the effects of ...

Creatine is a naturally occurring compound that provides cellular energy. It is the main energy source for functions like muscle contraction and nerve function. Not only has creatine been linked ...
