THE ROLE OF CREATINE PHOSPHATE IN THE HUMAN BODY

Creatine phosphate is a reserve of explosive energy. Creatine is a substance of skeletal muscles, myocardium, and nervous tissue. In the form of creatine phosphate, creatine is a “depot” of macroergic bonds and is used for rapid resynthesis of ATP during cell work. Creatine phosphate was first isolated from muscle tissue in 1927 [1]. However, the study of its role and influence on various processes in the human body continues to this day. This is explained by the fact that creatine phosphate is an energy substrate for the rapid synthesis of ATP under anaerobic conditions. That is, the formation of ATP does not require oxygen and the participation of mitochondria. In turn, ATP is a universal source of energy in the human body.
