Description
INTRODUCTION: Creatine is a dietary supplement that helps produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP). It is commonly used worldwide to improve muscle mass and cognitive function.
METHOD: In our study, we examined mice in three different groups, including creatine monohydrate, creatine hydrochloride, and a control group. We tested muscle strength through hanging weights, recognition using the novel object test, and cognitive performance through a swimming test.
RESULTS: Previous studies have suggested that creatine supplementation may improve muscle strength, brain energy metabolism, and survival rates in mice.
DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION: Understanding how different forms of creatine affect mice can provide insight into potential benefits for humans, though further research is needed to evaluate long-term safety.
