Abstract excerpt
The effects of creatine (Cr) absence in skeletal muscle caused by a deletion of guanidinoacetate methyltransferase (GAMT) were studied in a knockout mouse model by in vivo (31)P magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy. (31)P MR spectra of hindleg muscle of GAMT-deficient (GAMT-/-) mice showed no phosphocreatine (PCr) signal and instead showed the signal for phosphorylated guanidinoacetate (PGua), the immediate...
