Creatine
Creatine
A nitrogenous organic acid that plays a crucial role in energy production, primarily in muscle and brain tissue.
Creatinine
Creatinine
Creatine is converted into creatinine in the body, transported through the bloodstream, and filtered by the kidneys for excretion in urine.
Creatinine
Creatinine
A chemical waste product generated from the breakdown of creatine in muscle metabolism. It is a good indicator of kidney function.
