Photosynthesis is the process used by plants, algae and certain bacteria to harness energy from sunlight and turn it into chemical energy.
In some cases the test may be used to detect muscle conditions such as polymyositis (condition characterized by the inflammation of muscles) or to estimate the degree of muscle damage. Stroke and other forms of brain damage can also result in an elevated creatine kinase level.
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 ].
