1. The involvement of protein kinases on spatial learning enhancement induced by creatine / O envolvimento de proteínas quinases na facilitação do aprendizado espacial induzido por creatina
Decline cognitive related to neurodegenerative diseases are very commom in patients, probably in function of aging. Since there are few effectives therapeutics approaches to loss memory treatment, but studies about new therapeutics approaches are necessary regarding neuroprotective drugs. Thus, recent works have been showing the efficacy of some neuroprotect

2. Efeito do hormônio tireoideano sobre a expressão gênica do transportador de creatina (SLC6A8: CreaT) na musculatura esquelética e cardíaca de ratos. / Effect of thyroid hormone upon creatine transporter (CreaT: SLC6A8) gene expression in skeletal and cardiac muscles in rats.
A creatina (Cr) é uma reserva de fosfato de alta energia, sendo a fonte mais rápida de restauração do ATP intracelular. O hormônios tireoideano participa de forma importante na manutenção da taxa metabólica, aumentando a síntese e consumo de ATP, por meio da regulação de diferentes genes-alvo. Neste sentido, avaliamos o efeitos do HT sobre a expre

3. X-Linked Creatine-Transporter Gene (SLC6A8) Defect: A New Creatine-Deficiency Syndrome
We report the first X-linked creatine-deficiency syndrome caused by a defective creatine transporter. The male index patient presented with developmental delay and hypotonia. Proton magnetic-resonance spectroscopy of his brain revealed absence of the creatine signal. However, creatine in urine and plasma was increased, and guanidinoacetate levels were normal

4. X-Linked Mental Retardation with Seizures and Carrier Manifestations Is Caused by a Mutation in the Creatine-Transporter Gene (SLC6A8) Located in Xq28
A family with X-linked mental retardation characterized by severe mental retardation, speech and behavioral abnormalities, and seizures in affected male patients has been found to have a G1141C transversion in the creatine-transporter gene SLC6A8. This mutation results in a glycine being replaced by an arginine (G381R) and alternative splicing, since the G�

5. Increased glycogen accumulation in transgenic mice overexpressing glycogen synthase in skeletal muscle.
To investigate the role of glycogen synthase in controlling glycogen accumulation, we generated three lines of transgenic mice in which the enzyme was overexpressed in skeletal muscle by using promoter-enhancer elements derived from the mouse muscle creatine kinase gene. In all three lines, expression was highest in muscles composed primarily of fast-twitch
