How Does Creatine Affect Troponin

Troponin derives from three regulatory proteins that are crucial for muscle contraction in both the skeletal system and the cardiac muscle. Troponin levels are believed to be very important in the process of diagnosing various potentially life threatening heart disorders. Skeletal and cardiac muscles are controlled by the fluctuation in the levels in the intracellular calcium concentration. They are connected because when calcium rises it causes the muscles to contract and conversely, when the calcium levels fall the muscles relax.
Creatine is naturally produced in the body and comes from amino acids that are mainly in the kidney and liver. The creatine created then goes into the blood stream to be used in the muscles. Approximately 95% of the total creatine supply in the human body is found in the skeletal muscles. This is where the connection between troponin and creatine come into play, both are crucial for activity in the skeletal system.
Creatine powders are used by individuals who are looking to put on muscle mass and appear bigger because the creatine causes water retention and as a result the user appears to be more muscular. The creatine causes the muscles to expand and also gives the person more energy and stamina for exercises which further promotes muscles growth. These effects are linked to Troponin as well due to the fact that the three proteins that make up Troponin are important in the process of muscle contraction in the skeletal system and the cardiac muscle. There are some concerns with creatine use however, since it is used to increase the size of muscles some believe that will can potentially be harmful to the heart which is also a muscle. Troponin is connected with the creatine in regards to this because it is important to the contractions in the heart as well. If creatine does in fact cause the heart to enlarge then the levels of Troponin may have to increase in order for the heart to continue to contract and pump correctly.
