Skeletal muscle total creatine content and creatine transporter gene expression in vegetarians prior to and following creatine supplementation
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to examine the effect of vegetarianism on skeletal muscle total creatine (TCr) content and creatine transporter (CreaT) gene expression, prior to and during 5 d of Cr supplementation (CrS). The results indicated that vegetarians have a lower muscle TCr content and an increased capacity to load Cr into muscle following CrS, and that muscle CreaT gene was not affected by vegetarianism.

Carbohydrate influences plasma interleukin-6 but not C-reactive protein or creatine kinase following a 32-km mountain trail race
Article Abstract:
A study aims to determine if attenuation of the interleukin-6 (IL-6) response during a 32.2-kilometer mountain trail race occurs for high compared to low ad libitum carbohydrate (CHO) intakes. Results show that C-reactive protein (CRP) and creatine kinase activity (CK) both increased post-race, but no differences were observed bdetween groups.

Parallel increases in phosphocreatine and total creatine in human vastus lateralis muscle during creatine supplementation
Article Abstract:
The possibility of creatine supplementation altering the energetic balance in human muscle is explored by measuring changes in phosphocreatine (PCr) and total creatine (TCr) in human vastus lateralis muscle. The results shows that, PCr and TCr increase to the same relative extent in human muscle during creatine supplementation.
