Creatine chemical properties

Fatty acids are clearly larger in size and show markedly slower diffusion velocity than the small water (or creatine) molecules which have been examined so far by diffusion weighted NMR spectroscopy. However, assessment of diffusion properties of lipids could be a key step for further experimental studies of skeletal muscle lipid metabolism. Diffusion properties of FFA and triglycerides are likely different due to differences in molecular weight. In addition, effects of temperature, chemical surroundings, and the mobility of small lipid droplets in the cytosol may also lead to measurable differences in the diffusion characteristics.
