Systemic creatine (Cr) supplementation increases brain phosphocreatine (PCr) and prevents hypoxic seizures in 15-day-old rabbits. Between 5 and 30 days of age during normal development, rabbit gray matter mitochondrial creatine kinase (Mi-CK) increases 400% while cytosolic CK (BB-CK) increases 60%. In white matter, both isoenzymes show smaller, similar increases (40%) during this period. The Cr transporter protein decreases 60% between 5 and 15 days in both regions. In vivo CK rate constants measured by (31)P nuclear magnetic resonance increase 30% between 10 and 20 days, and then fall 50% between 20 and 30 days in predominantly gray matter slices. Similar maturational changes are seen in predominantly white matter slices. Injecting Cr at 15 days does not significantly change BB-CK or Mi-CK isoenzymes or the in vivo CK reaction rate constants. Thus, the largest change in the CK system associated with suppression of hypoxic seizures in Cr-treated rabbits is increased PCr in gray and white matter.
