Introduction: The roles of ATP and creatine in muscle contraction The store of ATP in muscle tissue is limited even though it is the immediate source of energy for everything we do including muscle contraction. The cellular ATP needs to be regenerated from ADP quickly in order to keep the contraction going otherwise the vertebrate muscle contraction will use up the present ATP in 1 second. Fortunately, most cell has a high rate of ATP “turnover” which means ATP can be swiftly synthesised from…

Miss Kan, whom I interviewed during the home visit, is a 65-year-old woman with a two-year history of osteoarthritis of her knees. She was given celecoxib at first for treating the pain, however, the pain control was suboptimal despite good drug compliance. On her next follow-up, she was given glucosamine-chondroitin instead for her condition. The response was good and she claimed that there was no more pain in her knees, and the range of motion restored. The result inspired me to dig deep into…
