Development Stage: Research-Grade Metabolic Assay Development
Short Description
Quantifies creatine levels (distinct from creatinine).
Brand
OXPHOSight
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.

Background
Creatine is a nitrogenous organic acid that facilitates the recycling of ATP in muscle and brain tissue. It acts as a rapidly mobilizable energy buffer during high-intensity short-duration biological activities.
