Potential possibility of phosphocreatine usage in internal medicine

Vnitr Lek. 2019 Winter;65(1):30-36.

Abstract

Adenosintriphosphate is basic unit of cellular energetics, although during situations of high energy demand, cell had developed metabolic inert molecules - phosphagens - including phosphocreatine. Nowadays there are not so many recent publications describing positive effect of phosphocreatine supplementation., its potential benefit in supplementation is mainly in cardiology - acute myocardial infarction, acute or chronic heart failure. Another field of medicine with potential use of phosphocreatine is nephrology - in dialysis patients, or in psotemnopausal women in prevention of osteoporosis. In following article, we present review of studies describing positive effect of using phosphocreatine in specific group of patients in internal medicine. Key words: ATP - ischemia - phosphagens - phosphocreatine.

Keywords: ATP - ischemia - phosphagens - phosphocreatine.
