irritation and can determine the diagnosis of polymyositis. When a blood test is conducted, they are looking for high levels of muscle enzymes, creatine phosphokinase and aldolase (Muscular Dystrophy Association, 2013). These enzymes are released in the bloodstream when muscles are damaged. The primary medication for polymyositis is a corticosteroid drug, which decreases the symptoms that come with the disease such as inflammation. Unfortunately polymyositis cannot be cured and there are no preventative
invaders and then repeatedly attack them. This is called an autoimmune disease. Polymyositis It has been documented that the exact cause of this disease is unknown but could be caused by environmental factors. 1 The Mayo clinic further stated that an autoimmune disease is when auto antibodies attack your body’s own tissue. Their assumption is that an unknown occurrence in the body triggers the onset of Polymyositis...
What is creatine? Creatine supplements are used by athletes, bodybuilders, wrestlers and others who wish to gain muscle mass. The average athlete typically consumes 2 to 3 times the amount that could be obtained from a high-protein diet. Creatine helps to supply energy to all cells in the body, primarily muscle. (wiki) Creatine is naturally produced in the human body from amino acids primarily in the kidney and liver. It is transported in the blood for use by muscles. Approximately 95% of the human
Some range from neuromuscular disorders to myopathies. Polymyositis is an example of a group of diseases that involves inflammation of the muscles or associated tissue, such as blood vessels that supply the muscle. Another type of disorder is muscular dystrophy which affect the muscle fibers. There are even metabolic
1.5 DNA repair mechanism DNA double strand breaks (DBSs) and single-strand breaks (SSBs) occur every day in cells and they are mostly caused by ionizing radiation, ultraviolet light, reactive oxygen species, errors during DNA replication, enzymes during meiosis. The repair of these DSBs and SSBs is essential to maintain genomic fidelity and stability. In order to combat DBSs and SSBs, cells have developed multiple distinct DNA repair mechanisms which detect damaged DNA, signal its presence and promote
