Abstract

Creatine (Cr) is recognized for its role in enhancing cognitive functions through the phosphocreatine (pCr)–creatine kinase system involved in brain energy homeostasis. It is reversibly converted into pCr by creatine kinase (CK). A brain‐specific isoform of CK, known as CK‐BB, is implicated in the brain's energy metabolism. The objective of this research is to ascertain the impact of Cr supplementation on learning and memory skills as well as on structural synaptic plasticity, by modulating CK‐BB. First, we utilized various concentrations of D‐galactose (D‐gal) to create an aging mouse model. Our findings indicated that D‐gal injections at 100 and 1000 mg/kg could lead to cognitive decline, oxidative stress, and damage to structural synaptic plasticity. CK‐BB expression and its activity were reduced at least by approximately 20% in mice injected with 100 and 1000 mg/kg D‐gal compared with control group. Next, an adeno‐associated virus directed against CKB was employed to reduce CK‐BB levels by 34% in the brain. The reduction of CK‐BB in the brain resulted in deficits in learning and memory, oxidative stress, and morphological harm to the hippocampal spines of mice. Finally, the diet of the D‐gal‐induced aging model was enriched with 3% Cr. Mice that received 3% Cr supplementation exhibited a 36% increase in CK‐BB activity and a 14.3% increase in CK‐BB expression following prolonged D‐gal administration. In addition, Cr supplementation mitigated the cognitive impairment, oxidative stress, and hippocampal structural plasticity damage caused by chronic D‐gal injections. Overall, our study revealed that CK‐BB has a critical role in mediating structural plasticity in D‐gal‐induced cognitive impairment. Moreover, it showed that supplementary Cr could serve as a potent neuroprotective substance, preventing or delaying the course of age‐related cognitive deficits.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
