Abstract:Despite the number of studies supporting the neuroprotective role of creatine in pathophysiology caused by traumatic brain injuries, there is insufficient knowledge of how this ergogenic compound may potentially affect brain-injury complications in adolescence. Thus, we hypothesized that creatine supplementation after a TBI could prevent from deleterious neurological effects such as memory deficits, mitochondrial disfunction and epileptiform activity. Our experimental data revealed, for the first time, that cr… Show more
