DOES ONE MONTH CREATINE SUPPLEMENTATION IMPROVE BLOOD LIPIDS?
Kohlíková, E. ; Petr, M. ; Navrátil, Tomáš ; Heyrovský, Michael ; Přistoupilová, K. ; Přistoupil, T. I.
One month’s administration of creatine (CR) in the dose of 5 g/day to 11 young active sportsmen affected their daily amount of CR excreted into urine, and the levels of cholesterol (CH), of triacylglycerols (TAG), of vitamin B12 and of folates in blood. The probands were divided into 4 groups, according to the amount of CR found in urine, and of folates and vitamin B12 determined in blood. It is possible that added CR might induce individually higher offer of 2C units, released under catalysis of vitamin B12 from HoCySH and serine in enzymatic reaction catalyzed by CBS, and in this way higher offer of cysteine and succinyl-CoA This is the main effect of CR in the group D. Both vitamins influence the ratio between glycine (necessary mainly for CR synthesis, beside other metabolic pathways) and serine. The change of serine into glycine can be realized by THF, under catalysis of serine hydroxymethyltransferase. For the opposite change of glycine into serine the metabolic pathway is catalyzed by folates too, but in more complicated way
