Chronic phosphocreatine depletion by the creatine analogue beta-guanidinopropionate is associated with increased mortality and loss of ATP in rats after myocardial infarction.
BACKGROUND: The failing myocardium is characterized by reductions of phosphocreatine (PCr) and free creatine content and by decreases of energy reserve via creatine kinase (CK), ie, CK reaction velocity (Flux(CK)). It has remained unclear whether these changes contribute directly to contractile dysf...
