Effects of training and creatine supplement on muscle strength and body massM Francaux
Institut Supérieur d Education Physique et de Kinésithérapie, Universite Libre de Bruxelles, Brussels, Belgium
Eur J Appl Physiol Occup Physiol 80:165-8. 1999..Nevertheless, the relative volumes of the body water compartments remained constant and therefore the gain in body mass cannot be attributed to water retention, but probably to dry matter growth accompanied with a normal water volume...
Beneficial effects of creatine supplementation in dystrophic patientsMagali Louis
, , 1 Place Pierre de Coubertin, B-1348 Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium
Muscle Nerve 27:604-10. 2003..05), and urinary excretion of collagen type I cross-linking N-telopeptide declined to about one third (P < 0.001) after Cr. No adverse effect was observed. Thus, Cr may provide some symptomatic benefit in these patients...
No effect of creatine supplementation on human myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic protein synthesis after resistance exerciseMagali Louis
, France
Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 285:E1089-94. 2003..01). Exercise increased the synthetic rates of myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic proteins by two- to threefold (P < 0.05), and leg phenylalanine balance became more positive, but creatine was without any anabolic effect...
Role of taurine in osmoregulation during endurance exerciseClaire Cuisinier
, , , 1 Place Pierre de Coubertin, 1348 Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium
Eur J Appl Physiol 87:489-95. 2002..In conclusion, changes in the plasma taurine content during endurance exercise is related to an osmoregulatory process, but this alone does not control plasma volume changes...
Creatine supplementation has no effect on human muscle protein turnover at rest in the postabsorptive or fed statesMagali Louis
, , Brussels 1200, Belgium
Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 284:E764-70. 2003..026), but creatine had no effect on turnover in the postabsorptive or fed states. Thus any increase in muscle mass accompanying creatine supplementation must be associated with increased physical activity...
