Participation of electrochemistry in the studies of human metabolism
Navrátil, Tomáš ; Šenholdová, Z. ; Přistoupilová, K. ; Přistoupil, T. I. ; Heyrovský, Michael ; Pelclová, D. ; Žák, J.
The contribution deals with explanation of metabolism of long term supplemented creatine in human organism. This process differs from metabolism of natural endogenous creatine, which is excreted in form of creatinine. Exogenous creatine induces increase of peptide formation, of body mass, and of intracellular fluid.
Electrochemical study of the effect of long-term creatine supplementation creatine on human metabolism
Šenholdová, Z. ; Navrátil, Tomáš ; Heyrovský, Michael ; Pelclová, D.
The volunteers were supplemented in time interval of one month by creatine. Body parameters (mass, height, intra- and extracellular water content etc.), levels of vitamins and a few other compounds in urine and in blood (vitamine B12, homocysteine, thiodiglycolic acid, creatine, creatinine etc.) were followed. The corresponding metabolic processes are studied.

Single-dose food supplementation of creatine (5 g of creatine per day), commonly used by sportsmen, affects their metabolism of thiocompounds and of some compounds in blood and in urine, the metabolism of which is connected with the synthesis of creatine or with its usage in the body. In blood the levels of folates, vitamin B12, homocysteine, triacylglycerols, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol, uric acid, cortizol, and testosterone were followed. In urine the changes in levels of creatine, creatinine, thiodiglycolic acid (TDGA), and pH were followed. The results were accomplished by data of bioimpedance measurements (body mass, muscle mass, body fat, intra- and extracellular fluids, total body water content, protein content, fitness score). It was found that according to the changes in creatine levels before and after administration of creatine in course of one month, it was possible to divide the subjects under study into four groups.
Vliv kreatinu na koordinaci močovinového a citrátového cyklu

Creatine is recommended to be administered as food supplement, which should fortify its natural formation. It is supposed that human organism utilizes this compound for creatine phosphate formation, which is necessary for energy supplementation for muscular work. It was shown that the metabolic ways are more complicated than had been supposed. The changes in thiodiglycolic acid (TDGA) excretion into urine proved that application of creatine affects the metabolism of thiocompounds and two-carbon units, i.e., levels of homocysteine and glycine in blood, and of TDGA in urine. From our results, obtained in experiments with a group of 11 young men, who were supplemented by creatine for one month, it was confirmed that the dependence interrelationship among thiocompounds, vitamin B12, folates, cholesterol, and other complex is more complicated than had been supposed. For better understanding of the role of creatine in general metabolism, ...
The use of electrochemistry for the study of human metabolism of sulfur-containing compounds

The contribution deals with explanation of metabolism of supplemented creatine in human organism. This process differs from metabolism of natural endogenous creatine, which is excreted in form of creatinine. Exogenous creatine induces increase of peptide formation, of body mass, and of intracellular fluid; from 4 to 6 hours after creatine supplementation the level of thiodiglycolic acid and pH in urine rapidly increase, both of them then decrease rapidly to the original values.
The use of composite graphite electrode for voltammetric determination of phenylglyoxylic acid
Šenholdová, Z. ; Navrátil, Tomáš ; Shanmugam, K. ; Barek, J. ; Žák, J.
A composite electrode prepared from graphite powder and epoxy resin was applied as a working electrode for the determination of phenylglyoxylic acid (one of the metabolites of styrene) in human urine. Cathodic differential pulse stripping voltammetry was used and optimum conditions have been found giving the limit of determination about 5 mg L-1. All results were compared with those obtained using hanging mercury drop electrode. For the confirmation of suggested mechanism of the electrochemical reaction the elimination voltammetry with linear scan was used.
