Abstract. The appearance of creatine kinase (CK) in blood has been generally considered to be an indirect marker of muscle damage, particularly for diagnosis of medical conditions such as myocardial infarction, muscular dystrophy, and cerebral diseases.igure 1: Phosphocreatine (PCr) circuit showing the rephosphorylation of creatine (Cr) in mitochondria using ATP derived from oxidative phosphorylation (oxid phos) and subsequent use of mitochondrial PCr by cytosolic creatine kinase (CK) to resupply ATP for muscle activity, adapted from Saks [ 5 ].
Alterations in DNA that occur after conception. Somatic mutations can occur in any of the cells of the body except the germ cells (sperm and egg) and therefore are not passed on to children.These alterations can (but do not always) cause cancer or other diseases.omatic mutations can occur in any of the cells of the body except the germ cells (sperm and egg) and therefore are not passed on to children.
Best Answer: Each chromosome contains a single DNA molecule, in addition to proteins, such as histones, which help package, protect, and condense the DNA. A human somatic cell has 23 chromosome pairs, 22 are autosomal, and one is sex-determining. Which means 46 chromosomes in a normal human somatic cell, which means 46 molecules of DNA.
