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.
Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), also called nuclear transfer, uses a different approach than artificial embryo twinning, but it produces the same result: an exact genetic copy, or clone, of an individual. This was the method used to create Dolly the Sheep.
