Cognitive deficits and increases in creatine precursors in a brain-specific knockout of the creatine transporter gene <i>Slc6a8</i>
2017-09-29
Abstract excerpt
Creatine transporter (CrT; SLC6A8) deficiency (CTD) is an X-linked disorder characterized by severe cognitive deficits, impairments in language, and an absence of brain creatine (Cr). In a previous study, we generated floxed Slc6a8 (Slc6a8 flox ) mice to create ubiquitous Slc6a8 knockout (Slc6a8 -/y ) mice. Slc6a8 -/y mice lacked whole body Cr and exhibited cognitive deficits. While Slc6a8 -/y mice have...
