“ Creatine supplementation increased muscle total-Cr, free-Cr and phosphocreatine ( PCr ) content above placebo following 1, 3 and 6 days of supplementation (all P < 0.05).”
“ Cr supplementation produced a 11.5 ± 4.6% increase in the resting muscle phosphocreatine (PCr) concentration and a 65.0 ± 4.2% increase in the PCr degradation during Ex10.”
“The results suggest that Cr supplementation enhanced PCr degradation during Ex10.”

“ Creatine loading significantly increased total creatine, free creatine and creatine phosphate content with a concomitant 18 +/- 5% increase in muscle glycogen content (P<0.05).”
“ Creatine uptake by the muscle fibers results in an elevation of intracellular phosphocreatine ( PCr ) levels because of the equilibrium reaction of creatine kinase.”
“While no change was seen in the placebo group compared to baseline, creatine supplementation increased skeletal muscle total creatine and creatine phosphate by 17 +/- 4% (P < 0.05) and 12 +/- 4% (P < 0.05), respectively.”
