Functional and energetic consequences of chronic myocardial creatine depletion by beta-guanidinopropionate in perfused hearts and in intact rats.
Oral feeding with the creatine analogue beta-guanidinopropionate (beta-GP) reduces myocardial phosphocreatine and creatine concentrations by about 80%in vitro, this is accompanied by reduced contractile performance. We hypothesized, thus, that beta-GP feeding leads to hemodynamic changes in vivo cha...
