Objectives: To establish the normal Creatine phosphokinase (CPK) range in newborns of all
3 modes of delivery and prove that high CPK level in neonates is not specific a indicator for …

Background: Creatin Kinase (CK) is an enzyme that participates in the usage and storage of
energy cycle in tissue especially the muscles. Elevation of CK in the serum of the newborns …

Recently it was demonstrated that serum creatine kinase (ATP: creatine
phosphotransferase, EC 2.7. 3.2., CPK) activity was increased in newborn infants in relation …

The enzyme creatine kinase plays a crucial role in energy transfer and storage. It is mostly
expressed in skeletal muscle, heart, brain and blood vessels. Normal serum ranges vary by …

The detection of Duchenne muscular dystrophy in the neonate by a determination of the
serous activity of CPK allowed the authors to study the muscular, clinical and …

Creatine kinase (CK) is a key enzyme of energy metabolism, especially in muscle tissue. CK
has two polypeptide chains of M and B, and three isomers, CK-BB, CK-MB and CK-MM. In …

The total creatine kinase activity and its isoenzyme patterns were investigated in the skeletal
muscle of 87 fetuses, of which 80 were presumed normal, 5 were anencephalic and 2 were …

CPK measurement was deemed advantageous by the authors because it was increased
“only in progressive muscular dystrophy, in dermatomyositis, and transiently in myocardial …

Recently, Cardon 1 described in The Journal how the field of muscle disease has moved
beyond using plasma creatine kinase (CK) as a method proposed 50 years ago to identify …

Background Today, few studies have been accomplished in order to determine serum
creatine kinase (CK) activity in newborns by considering small groups of babies and without …
