Creatine and pregnancy outcomes: a prospective cohort study of creatine metabolism in low-risk pregnant females

CONCLUSIONS: Although maternal plasma creatine concentrations were highly conserved, creatine metabolism appears to adjust throughout pregnancy. An ability to maintain creatine concentrations through diet and shifts in endogenous synthesis may impact fetal growth.
