Journals on Creatine Monohydrate and CEE - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Merat · 10-10-2009, 06:15 PM

Hi, for my sports science course at college I am currently doing a research project on which is better between creatine monohydrate and CEE, I will test this on two sprinters for them to use before their weights workout, however the sprinters and I will not know what creatine they will be using, another person will give it to them without me knowing what and who hes giving it to.

I'm doing the literature review currently, could anyone kindley provide me with some links to any journals or material on Creatine Monohydrate and CEE, and even better journals comparing the two, I have two already but if anything better is there Id be glad to know!

The title by the of my project is the following, just to clarify what I intend on testing for:

Creatine Monohydrate Vs Creatine Ethyl Ester: Which is better for pre workout supplementation before strength based/anaerobic training

If this is the wrong section to put this thread in, please mods feel free to move it

Also this is for college! not University so its not a full on proper disitation!

Best place to start your search for journals might be pubmed:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez

If you use that to search for keywords, it will come up with articles from scientific journals for you. It's probably best for you to get a review article (look for the review tab when you've done your search) so that you can get a decent paper with an overview of a variety individual research papers on whatever theme you're interested in.

I put 'creatine monohydrate ethyl ester' into their search bar and got the following abstract:

Quote:

Spillane M, Schoch R, Cooke M, Harvey T, Greenwood M, Kreider R, Willoughby DS. The effects of creatine ethyl ester supplementation combined with heavy resistance training on body composition, muscle performance, and serum and muscle creatine levels. J Int Soc Sports Nutr. 2009 Feb 19;6:6.

ABSTRACT: Numerous creatine formulations have been developed primarily to maximize creatine absorption. Creatine ethyl ester is alleged to increase creatine bio-availability. This study examined how a seven-week supplementation regimen combined with resistance training affected body composition, muscle mass, muscle strength and power, serum and muscle creatine levels, and serum creatinine levels in 30 non-resistance-trained males. In a double-blind manner, participants were randomly assigned to a maltodextrose placebo (PLA), creatine monohydrate (CRT), or creatine ethyl ester (CEE) group. The supplements were orally ingested at a dose of 0.30 g/kg fat-free body mass (approximately 20 g/day) for five days followed by ingestion at 0.075 g/kg fat free mass (approximately 5 g/day) for 42 days. Results showed significantly higher serum creatine concentrations in PLA (p = 0.007) and CRT (p = 0.005) compared to CEE. Serum creatinine was greater in CEE compared to the PLA (p = 0.001) and CRT (p = 0.001) and increased at days 6, 27, and 48. Total muscle creatine content was significantly higher in CRT (p = 0.026) and CEE (p = 0.041) compared to PLA, with no differences between CRT and CEE. Significant changes over time were observed for body composition, body water, muscle strength and power variables, but no significant differences were observed between groups. In conclusion, when compared to creatine monohydrate, creatine ethyl ester was not as effective at increasing serum and muscle creatine levels or in improving body composition, muscle mass, strength, and power. Therefore, the improvements in these variables can most likely be attributed to the training protocol itself, rather than the supplementation regimen.

Good luck, and best of luck with college

x2 - great minds - just looked in Pubmed too and got the same one

I'll have another little peek and see if there are anyothers you can look through without needing the passwords!
