Effects of creatine on mental fatigue and cerebral hemoglobin oxygenation

Post any studies on creatine that you may have come across.


While the role of creatine in preventing muscle (peripheral) fatigue for 
high performance athletes is well understood, its biochemical role in 
prevention of mental (central) fatigue is not. Creatine is abundant in 
muscles and the brain and after phosphorylation used as an energy source 
for adenosine triphosphate synthesis. Using double-blind 
placebo-controlled paradigm, we demonstrated that dietary supplement of 
creatine (8 g/day for 5 days) reduces mental fatigue when subjects 
repeatedly perform a simple mathematical calculation. After taking the 
creatine supplement, task-evoked increase of cerebral oxygenated 
hemoglobin in the brains of subjects measured by near infrared 
spectroscopy was significantly reduced, which is compatible with 
increased oxygen utilization in the brain.
