Background: Present study was designed to report the effect of 2% creatine monohydrate supplementation for 8, 12 and 15 weeks on hematology and serum biochemical profile of male albino mouse following hypoxic ischemic insult on postnatal day 10.
Methods: 66 Blood samples (2% creatine monohydrate supplemented (N = 34) and unsupplemented (N = 32)) were analyzed for various hematological (blood glucose, packed cell volume, total WBC count, total RBC count) and serum biochemical parameters (cholesterol, AST, ALT, HDL, LDL, total protein, triglycerides).
Results: ALT had higher concentrations in mice feeding on normal diet for 8 (P > 0.01) and 12 weeks (P > 0.01) following asphyxia and in 12 weeks treatment without asphyxia (P = 0.006) when compared with the creatine supplemented mice. LDL (P = 0.011) and cholesterol (P > 0.01) had higher concentrations in mice on normal diet for 12 weeks following hypoxia ischemia. Cholesterol (P > 0.01) in 12 and glucose (P = 0.006) in 15 week treatment group had significantly lower concentrations in creatine supplemented male albino mice when compared with untreated group following hxpoic-ischemic insult.
Conclusion: We concluded that creatine supplementation following hypoxic ischemic insult helps in maintain the normal blood chemistry.

Part II. Common questions and misconceptions about creatine supplementation: what does the scientific evidence really show?
J Int Soc Sports Nutr

Creatine monohydrate supplementation (CrM) is a safe and effective intervention for improving certain aspects of sport, exercise performance, and health across the lifespan. Despite its evidence-based pedigree, several questions and misconceptions about CrM remain. To initially address some of these concerns, our group published a narrative review in 2021 discussing the scientific evidence as to whether CrM leads to water retention and fat accumulation, is a steroid, causes hair loss, dehydration or muscle cramping, adversely affects renal and liver function, and if CrM is safe and/or effective for children, adolescents, biological females, and older adults.

Supplementing With Which Form of Creatine (Hydrochloride or Monohydrate) Alongside Resistance Training Can Have More Impacts on Anabolic/Catabolic Hormones, Strength and Body Composition?

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess how resistance training (RT) combined with either creatine-hydrochloride (Cr-HCl) or creatine monohydrate (CrM) affects hormones, strength, and body composition in young adults aged 18-25.
- - Forty participants were split into four groups: those taking Cr-HCl, CrM with a loading phase, CrM without loading, and a placebo group, all undergoing an eight-week RT program.
- - Results demonstrated that those on creatine supplements showed significant improvements in strength, muscle mass, and favorable hormone changes compared to the placebo group, with no notable advantage of Cr-HCl over CrM.
Effects of Creatine Monohydrate Supplementation on Muscle, Bone and Brain- Hope or Hype for Older Adults?

Purpose Of Review: Sarcopenia, generally characterized by the age-related reduction in muscle strength, lean/muscle mass and functional ability, is also associated with reduced bone mass and strength and impaired brain health and function. One potential intervention which has received much 'hype' over the past few decades to countermeasure these negative consequences of biological aging is creatine monohydrate supplementation.
Recent Findings: From a skeletal muscle perspective, the combination of creatine monohydrate supplementation and resistance training provides 'hope' for older adults as it improves measures of lean mass, regional (limb) muscle thickness, upper- and lower-body muscle strength and functional ability.
Efficacy and safety profile of oral creatine monohydrate in add-on to cognitive-behavioural therapy in depression: An 8-week pilot, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled feasibility and exploratory trial in an under-resourced area.

Pre-clinical and clinical evidence proposes that creatine monohydrate, an affordable nutraceutical, could be a useful adjunct to conventional antidepressant treatments. In this pilot feasibility and exploratory study, we investigate the 8-week effects of creatine in addition to cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) versus placebo plus CBT in depression. For the primary efficacy outcome of change in Patient Health Questionnaire-9 depression score at study endpoint, we used mixed-model repeated measures analysis of covariance.
