Short Description
Quantifies creatine levels (distinct from creatinine).
Development Stage
Research-Grade Metabolic Assay Development
Description
The OXPHOSight™ Creatine Assay Kit evaluates the creatine kinase phosphagen system, supporting research into muscle atrophy treatments and bioenergetic supplements. By distinguishing creatine from creatinine, it allows researchers to isolate energy metabolism pathways and assess the efficacy of ergogenic aids. This assay is particularly useful for studying muscle wasting conditions and validating therapeutics that enhance cellular energy reserves.
Features
Distinguishes creatine from creatinine to isolate energy metabolism pathways; Useful for evaluating muscle-wasting therapies and ergogenic aids.
