Effect of exercise on serum creatine kinase in carriers of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. 1982

R F Gaines, and S M Pueschel, and E A Sassaman, and J L Driscoll

In order to evaluate the effect of exercise on serum creatine kinase levels, blood samples were obtained from 17 normal females and 12 Duchenne muscular dystrophy carriers before and 9 hours after moderately strenuous exercise. The results revealed that after exercise serum creatine kinase levels may be better indicators of carrier status than resting levels. The mean serum creatine kinase levels before and after exercise, as well as the mean increases, were found to be significantly greater in Duchenne muscular dystrophy carriers than in normal control subjects.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009136 Muscular Dystrophies A heterogeneous group of inherited MYOPATHIES, characterized by wasting and weakness of the SKELETAL MUSCLE. They are categorized by the sites of MUSCLE WEAKNESS; AGE OF ONSET; and INHERITANCE PATTERNS. Muscular Dystrophy,Myodystrophica,Myodystrophy,Dystrophies, Muscular,Dystrophy, Muscular,Myodystrophicas,Myodystrophies
D003402 Creatine Kinase A transferase that catalyzes formation of PHOSPHOCREATINE from ATP + CREATINE. The reaction stores ATP energy as phosphocreatine. Three cytoplasmic ISOENZYMES have been identified in human tissues: the MM type from SKELETAL MUSCLE, the MB type from myocardial tissue and the BB type from nervous tissue as well as a mitochondrial isoenzyme. Macro-creatine kinase refers to creatine kinase complexed with other serum proteins.
