<p>The present invention relates to the use of a creatine compound, in particular creatine or a creatine analogue for the manufacture of a therapeutic preparation for reducing the biological process of aging, for treating disuse muscle atrophy or for stimulating subsequent restoral of muscle mass in rehabilitation training. The muscle atrophy is the result of immobilisation, or reduced level of physical activity due to either disease or aging. The biological process of aging comprises for example the simultaneous degeneration and degradation of body tissues, including muscle and bone, neural tissue and secretory cells. The invention further relates to a therapeutic preparation for treating or preventing disuse muscle atrophy and for inhibiting the biological process of aging, comprising a suitable carrier, diluent or excipient and an effective amount of one or more creatine compounds. <IMAGE> <IMAGE></p> |
