INCREASING ATP AVAILABILITY BY INHIBITION OF CREATINE KINASE (CK) LEAKAGE RESULTING FROM HIGH-INTENSITY EXERCISE

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of increasing Adenosine Triphosphate levels in a mammal wherein 2-(carbamimidoyl-methyl-amino)ethoxyphosphonic acid inhibits the leakage of the Adenosine Triphosphate-dependant enzyme Creatine Kinase. Via the inhibition of Creatine Kinase leakage, Adenosine Triphosphate is not utilized in the conversion of creatine to phosphocreatine, thereby making it available for use in muscular contractions. The increase in availability leads to longer endurance and more forceful muscular contractions.
