1does creatine lead to water retention
while there is some evidence to suggest that supplementation increases water retention, primarily attributed to increases in intracellular volume, over the short term, there are several other studies suggesting it does not alter total body water (intra or extracellular) relative to muscle mass over longer periods of time. As a result, creatine supplementation may not lead to water retention.
2is creatine an anabolic steroid
In summary, because creatine has a completely different chemical structure, it is not an anabolic steroid.
3does creatine cause kidney damage
In summary, experimental and controlled research indicates that creatine supplementation, when ingested at recommended dosages, does not result in kidney damage and/or renal dysfunction in healthy individuals.
4does creatine lead to dehydration and muscle cramping
In summary, experimental and clinical research does not validate the notion that creatine supplementation causes dehydration and muscle cramping.
5is creatine harmful for children and adolescents
In summary, based on the limited evidence, creat- ine supplementation appears safe and potentially beneficial for children and adolescents.
6does creatine increase fat mass
In summary, creatine supplementation does not increase fat mass across a variety of populations.
7Is creatine only useful for resistance / power type activities
In summary, there is a variety of athletic events, not just resistance/power activities, which may benefit from creatine supplementation.
8c only effective for males
In summary, there is accumulating evidence that creatine supplementation has the potential to be a multifactorial therapeutic intervention across the lifespan in females, with little to no side effects.
9Are other forms of creatine similar or superior to monohydrate and is creatine stable in solutions/ beverages?
In summary, while some forms of creatine may be more soluble than creatine monohydrate when mixed in fluid, evidence-based research clearly shows creatine monohydrate to be the optimal choice.
10c beneficial for older adults
In summary, there is growing body of evidence showing that creatine supplementation, particularly when combined with exercise, provides musculoskel- etal and performance benefits in older adults.
11 loading phase required
In summary, accumulating evidence indicates that you do not have to ‘load’ creatine. Lower, daily dosages of creatine supplementation (i.e.3-5 g/day) are effective for increasing intra- muscular creatine stores, muscle accretion and muscle performanceecovery.
12glycolysis occurs where
sacroplasm
132 phases of glycolysis
energy investment and energy generation
14energy investment phase
steps 1-4 cost 2 ATP if starting with glucose cost 1 if starting with glycogen why? because we enter in the second step and it is step 1 and 3 that need ATP
15you get glucose from the …. and get glycogen from the …
liver muscles
16energy generation phase
4-10 go from 1 6 carbon molecule to two 3 carbon molecules products are 2NADH and 4ATP
17without presence of oxygen how do we get back to NAD
happened outside the mito we have lactic acid pathway
18lactic acid pathway
in sketeal muscle done more at the start if exercising when we don’t get a lot of oxygen yet hydrogen is added to pyruvic acid to form lactic acid and NADH can go to NAD
19cori cycle
between the muscle and the liver and get rid of lactate in thr muscle turn it into pyruvate then to glucose
20step 1 of glycosis
hexokinase go from glucose to glucose-6-phosphate
require in the INPUT of ATP
21step 2 of glycosis
phosphoglucose isomerase
go from glucose-6 phosphate to fructose6 phosphate
if have glycogen then enter here
22step 3 of glycosis
requires the INPUT of ATP
phosphofructokinase
go from fructose 6 phosphate to fructose 1,6 bisphosph
RATE DETERINIMING STEP

go from 1, 3 bi to 3 phosphoglycerate
get ATP from this

go from 2 phophoglycerate to phosphoenolpyruvate
28step 9 of glucose
get ATP from this step
go from phosphoenolypurvate to pyrvate

primary function is to remove H
seen in the formation of NADH and FADH
make GTP also which turn into ATP
make 4NADH
1 ATP
1 FADH2
and does this twice becasue had 2 pyruvate

pyrvatue gets turned into acetly Coa
get NADH from this
