New genetic tools provide clues to the effects of exercise and diet on obesity, diabetes
.... "Surprisingly," Hittel noted, "total activity of creatine kinase (CK), which also regulates energy metabolism in skeletal muscle, increased (a significant) 30% in obese women but not in morbidly obese women. "We propose that the increased activities of AK1, CK reflect a compensatory change in en...VYTORIN (TM) superior again to Lipitor at lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol
...ferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), or creatine kinase (CK) level less than or equal to 1.5 times the upper limit of normal, serum creatinine level less than or equal to 1.5 mg/dL, and a hemoglobin A1C less than 9 percent in patients with diabetes. Full indication for VYTORIN VYTORIN is indic...Gene variants predict heart muscle damage after cardiac surgery
...measuring the levels of a specific enzyme known as creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), which leaks into the bloodstream as heart muscle cell walls break apart as a result of damage or death. The researchers began by identifying 48 known polymorphisms of 23 candidate genes that are all involved with the body's immune ...Illuminating Alzheimer's: Research sheds light on creatine's presence in brain

...t research findings were presented using high dose creatine as a therapy for HD patients. At the mouse level, new intriguing findings were reported concerning BDNF, brain-derived neurotrophic factor. BDNF is a kind of support and survival factor without which brain cells can die like a kind of food for brain...The Parkinson's Institute to conduct Phase III Clinical Trial of creatine for Parkinson's disease
