Examples of phosphocreatine
phosphocreatine
Creatine and its derivative, phosphocreatine, occur naturally in the human body.

The mitochondria also replenish this phosphocreatine store after muscle contraction.

After it is ingested, stores of both creatine and phosphocreatine in the muscle can increase.

When phosphocreatine stores become reduced, the body replenishes its supply from one of two sources.

Phosphocreatine is formed naturally within the body, with over 95% of the compound stored within the muscle cells.

The liver produces phosphocreatine from amino acids.

Muscle cells need large amounts of ATP for movement and they use phosphocreatine as a ready and available energy source to make ATP.

This resource is short lasting because oxygen is required for the resynthesis of phosphocreatine via mitochondrial creatine kinase.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Previous studies have suggested that taking 20 grams of creatine for five or six days results in an increase in both creatine and phosphocreatine concentration in the muscle.

- An organic compound of creatine and phosphoric acid; found in the muscles of vertebrates where its hydrolysis releases energy for muscular contraction
- Phosphocreatine, also known as creatine phosphate or PCr (Pcr), is a phosphorylated creatine molecule that serves as a rapidly mobilizable reserve of high-energy phosphates in skeletal muscle and brain.
- (PC, PCr) is an energy supplying chemical compound stored in muscle cells that anaerobically produces ATP for muscular contraction.
