Creatine Monohydrate Enhances Strength And Body Composition In Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

この研究の注釈:

In thirty children given creatine supplementation at around 2-5g daily (half of which were on corticosteroids) for four months of time, supplementation of creatine was associated with an increase in strength of the dominant hand (but not the other) and an almost significant reduction in whole body strength seen in placebo was prevented with creatine.

There were no improvements on activities of daily living or lung function, and there was no influence on DNA damage as assessed by the 8-OH-2-dG/creatinine ratio (but creatinine was also unaffected).


Effect Of Creatine Monohydrate In Improving Cellular Energetics And Muscle Strength In Ambulatory Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Patients: A Randomized, Placebo-controlled 31P MRS Study

この研究の注釈:

Supplementation of 5g creatine monohydrate daily for eight weeks in young boys with Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy was noted to increase power output as assessed via an MMT test, and improved parental reports of ‘improvement’ relative to placebo.
