Dietary supplementation with creatine monohydrate prevents corticosteroid-induced attenuation of growth in young rats
Abstract
Corticosteroids are used as chemotherapeutic agents in many medical conditions, despite many common and potentially serious side effects. Supplementation with creatine monohydrate (CrM) can increase strength and lean body mass in humans and, therefore, may be a viable countermeasure to the side effects of corticosteroids.
