Creatine Increases Survival and Delays Motor Symptoms in a Transgenic Animal Model of Huntington's Disease
Open accessAbstract
There is substantial evidence for bioenergetic defects in Huntington's disease (HD). Creatine administration increases brain phosphocreatine levels and it stabilizes the mitochondrial permeability transition. We examined the effects of creatine administration in a transgenic mouse model of HD produced by 82 polyglutamine repeats in a 171 amino acid N-terminal fragment of huntingtin (N171-82Q). Dietary supplementation of 2% creatine significantly improved survival, slowed the development of motor symptoms, and delayed the onset of weight loss. Creatine lessened brain atrophy and the formation of intranuclear inclusions, attenuated reductions in striatal N-acetylaspartate as assessed by NMR spectroscopy, and delayed the development of hyperglycemia. These results are similar to those observed using dietary creatine supplementation in the R6/2 transgenic mouse model of HD and provide further evidence that creatine may exert therapeutic effects in HD.

Creatine significantly improves survival, improves motor performance, slows the development of brain atrophy, increases brain ATP levels, delays atrophy of striatal neurons and the formation of Htt-positive aggregates in the R6/2 and N-171-82Q transgenic mouse models of HD.
“We found that creatine significantly improves survival, improves motor performance, slows the development of brain atrophy, increases brain ATP levels, delays atrophy of striatal neurons and the formation of Htt-positive aggregates in the R6/2 and N-171-82Q transgenic mouse models of HD118-120.”

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.
