Creatine protocols

Clinical Analysis. A wide range of clinically important substances can be detected and quantitated using chemiluminescence or bioluminescence methods. Coupled enzyme assay protocols permit the measurement of kinase, dehydrogenase, and oxidases or the substrates of these enzymes as exemplified by reactions of glucose, creatine phosphate, and bile acid in the following ... 

Increased creatine and PCr concentrations have been achieved by giving creatine orally. The creatine dose used was 20 g daily for 4—5 days, administered in repeated 5 g doses. Muscle creatine increased by 20-40% above the preadministration content and the PCr increased by 8-15% (Harris et al., 1992). Torque generation by the knee extensor muscles was measured during five repeated bouts of 30 isokinetic MVCs, with 2 min rest periods between bouts. The exercise protocol was performed four times, before and after placebo or creatine supplementation. The total peak torque production increased significantly in all five bouts of maximal... 

Figure 4. Ten bouts of high intensity cycle exercise, each with a duration of 6 sec and with 30 sec rest periods between bouts were performed on a given day. The entire exercise protocol was performed on four separate days by each subject (n = 8), before and after placebo and creatine supplementation. Mean power output was 882 watts. Upper panels (A1 and B1) demonstrate mean revolutions per min during the 0-4 sec period of each bout and the lower panel (A2 and B2) during 4-6 sec of each bout. The left panels (A1 and A2) show results before (o) and after (x) placebo and the right panels (B1 and B2) before (o) and after (x) creatine supplementation. The study was performed in a double blind manner.

I know of more than a few standing world records accomplished by those using this protocol. Some added injectable ATP and most used the creatine/insulin loading layer. But all realized results to brag about. 

I have noted results realized during creatine/D-Ribose use with proper nutrition and training protocols are significantly better than those realized with any other supposed transport method. The athletes I work with find it easier to remain leaner yet larger through inclusion of this simple supplemental seed. And there are way too many Big Fat Bastards running around already. I certainly have no desire to create new ones. 

For the asymptomatic infant with LCFAOD who is breast-feeding well and is clinically normal (normal liver function tests, creatine kinase, and electrocardiogram), a change in diet may not be necessary. Rather, the infant is monitored closely and provided an emergency treatment protocol to be used in the case of illness [6]. In the severe forms of LCFAOD, the goal of the diet is to reduce long-chain fat and provide an alternative energy source (Box 24.2).
