research Biochemical and Structural Characteristics, Gene Regulation, Physiological, Pathological and Clinical Features of Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase as a Multifunctional Lipocalin
Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase (L-PGDS) is a protein that plays many roles in the body, including sleep regulation, pain management, food intake, and protection against harmful substances. It also affects fat metabolism, glucose intolerance, cell maturation, and is involved in various diseases like diabetes, cancer, and arthritis. It can influence sex organ development and embryonic cell differentiation, and its levels can be used as a diagnostic marker for certain conditions.

research Part II. Common questions and misconceptions about creatine supplementation: what does the scientific evidence really show?
The document reviews the scientific evidence on creatine monohydrate (CrM) supplementation, confirming its safety and effectiveness for enhancing muscle recovery and performance, especially in individuals with lower baseline creatine levels like vegans and vegetarians. CrM intake timing is not critical, but consistent use is important, and co-ingestion with carbohydrates or protein can enhance creatine uptake. While CrM does not significantly increase muscle protein synthesis, it may have anti-catabolic effects and aid in recovery from injuries or surgeries. It does not increase cancer risk, affect blood pressure, urine production, or male fertility, and may improve cognitive function during sleep deprivation and aid recovery from traumatic brain injuries. However, more research is needed on its safety during pregnancy and its effects in adolescents, particularly females. The authors' affiliations with creatine-related industries may influence their perspectives.
