- An amino acid that does not occur in proteins but is found in the muscle tissue of vertebrates both in the free form and as phosphocreatine; supplies energy for muscle contraction
- Creatine (/u02C8kriu02D0u0259tiu02D0n/ or /u02C8kriu02D0u0259tu026An/) is a nitrogenous organic acid that occurs naturally in vertebrates and helps to supply energy to all cells in the body, primarily muscle. This is achieved by increasing the formation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Creatine was identified in 1832 when Michel Eugu00E8ne Chevreul isolated it from the basified water-extract of skeletal muscle...
- An amino acid 2-(carbamimidoyl-methyl- amino)acetic acid which naturally occurs in vertebrates and helps to supply energy to muscle and nerve cells
- A protein derivative in muscle tissue. Sometimes found in body-building supplements.
- A nitrogenous compound that when combined with phosphate produces ATP
- A substance that is made by the body and used to store energy. It is being studied in the treatment of weight loss related to cancer. It is derived from the amino acid arginine.
- An amino acid derivative that has been known to enhance strength and build muscle. Often used by athletes for its effects on muscular endurance and strength. Cr is capable of becoming transformed into PCr and used as a source of energy. ...
- Naturally occurring in muscle tissue, creatine functions as a secondary reservoir for short-term energy to be drawn upon when ATP (adenosine triphosphate) stores--the energy storage molecule that drives muscular contraction--are depleted. ...
- A compound made by the body and used to store energy in cells of muscle tissue. Internal creatine supplies energy for muscle contraction. It is available as a dietary supplement (animal sources). ...
