Description
Creatine and Creatine Phosphate: Scientific and Clinical Perspectives is an up-to-date summary of both the scientific and medical
aspects of creatine and creatine phosphate metabolism and therapy.
It covers in detail the basic biochemistry, bioenergetics and biophysics
of these agents with particular emphasis on their role on the cardiovascular and muscle systems. Modern in vivo myocardial and
skeletal muscle measurements are outlined, and the importance of the molecules in cardiovascular medicine, sport science and cardiac
surgery are highlighted.
This book is designed for those interested in the basic scientific background to creatine and creatine phosphate,
and also for physicians treating or studying heart and vascular disease. The book will also be vital for sports scientists who wish to
acquire a comprehensive knowledge of the molecule which is currently being promoted for performance and exercise programmes.
