Abin da Binciken Ya Yi

Takardar “Single dose creatine improves cognitive performance and induces changes in cerebral high‑energy phosphates during sleep deprivation” an wallafa a Scientific Reports 2024 (14:4937) ta Gordji‑Nejad, Matusch, Kleedörfer, Patel, Drzezga, Elmenhorst, Binkofski, Bauer da abokan aikinsu. Za ka iya karanta taƙaitacciyar ƙunshi a kan PubMed.

Masu halarta sun fuskanci rashin barci na awanni 21. An ba su ko dai ƙwaya guda ɗaya na creatine monohydrate a 0.35 g/kg na nauyin jiki ko kuma placebo. Ga mutum da ke da nauyin kilogram 70‑80, wannan ya kai kusan gram 25‑28 a lokaci guda.

Masana kimiyya suka bi diddigin abin da ya faru a kwakwalwa da kuma aikin tunani. An yi gwaje‑gwajen a farkon dare, sannan a sa’o’i 3, 5.5 da 7.5 bayan shan ƙwayar. An yi amfani da fasahar phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P‑MRS) da proton MRS (1H‑MRS) – waɗanda ke ba da damar kallon sinadarai masu alaƙa da makamashi a kwakwalwa ba tare da tsoma baki ba.

Sakamako: Me Ya Canza?

A cewar marubuta, ƙwaya guda ɗaya mai ƙarfi ta:

• Canza alamu na makamashi a kwakwalwa, ciki har da PCr/Pi, ATP da tCr/tNAA.
• Kare ƙaruwar acidity (pH) da ke sauka yayin rashin barci.
• Inganta aikin tunani da saurin sarrafa bayanai idan aka kwatanta da placebo.

Masu binciken sun ƙara da cewa ƙwaya mai yawa ba ta cika mayar da fasahar sinadarai da gajeriyar gajiya ta tunani ba. “Cika” na nufin ba za a iya ɗauka a matsayin magani na dindindin ba, kuma rubutun bai fayyace hakan ba.

Abin da ya fi ɗaukar hankali shi ne lokacin da sakamakon ya bayyana. An dade ana zaton creatine na bukatar makonni na shan kullum kafin ya shafi kwakwalwa. A wannan gwaji, tasirin ya bayyana a cikin sa’o’i kaɗan.

Me Zai Iya Sa Ya Aiki?

Creatine an fi saninsa a tsokoki, inda phosphocreatine ke taimakawa wajen mayar da ATP. Kwakwalwa ma tana amfani da wannan tsarin, kuma tana bukatar makamashi mai yawa. Rashin barci da creatine suna tasiri a kan phosphates masu makamashi, creatine a kwakwalwa, da aikin tunani. A taƙaice, rashin barci yana ƙara ɗaukar makamashi, yayin da creatine ke ƙara samuwar abun da ake bukata.

Babban ƙalubale shi ne shigar creatine zuwa cikin jijiyoyin kwakwalwa, domin iyakokin da ke tsakanin jini da kwakwalwa. Wannan ne ya sa shan kullum ke buƙatar makonni kafin a ga tasiri.

Manazarta sun hasashe abubuwa biyu na iya ƙara yawaitar shigar creatine zuwa kwakwalwa a ɗan lokaci: (i) yawaitar creatine a wajen sel, da (ii) ƙaruwa a buƙatar makamashi a lokacin da ba a yi barci ba. Sakamakon da aka samu ya dace da wannan tunani, ko da yake ɗaya kawai ba zai tabbatar da cikakken hanyar ba.

Ƙuntatawa da Ya Kamata Ka Sani

Kafin ka fara auna cokali a 3 na safe, ka karanta wannan sashi sau biyu.

Wani ƙarin bayani: wasu marubutan suna da alaƙa da kamfanonin ƙwayoyi da magunguna, duk da cewa ba su da wata dangantaka da “creatine”.

Waɗanda Zasu Iya Amfana Da Wannan

Binciken na da amfani ga duk wanda ke aiki a ƙarƙashin ƙarancin barci:
