wyszedl mi skroot myslowy - przepraszam
pierwsza czesc wypowiedzi dotyczyla teorii dzialania inozyny; drooga natomiast /zwrooc uwage, ze celowo nie byla po przecinku/ stanowila moje zdanie - imho nie oplaca sie sooplementowac czegos, co daje przecietne efekty /nie moowie, ze nie mozna, ale po co?/, a dwa, czegos co nie jest niezbedne /w ujeciu 'niedoboru'/
mam nadzieje, ze bardziej nie namieszalam i teraz wyglada to jasniej
co do dzialania - krootki txt, jaki udalo mi sie na teraz znalezc
7. Inosine
7.1 Background
Chemically the substance is inosine-mono-phosphate and it is a precursor for guanine- and adenosine nucleotides. Inosine itself consist of the purine hypoxanthine and the sugar ribose. Physical exercise in itself, increases the levels of inosine in the muscle (2) and the question is if a supplementation would have an additional effect.
7.2 Claims and purpose of use
Inosine has been sold to athletes since the early eighties with claims of better endurance and enhanced skeletal muscle anabolism. The statement that inosine could increase endurance originates, at least partly, from its biological importance as a precursor for ATP and GTP. It may also work as a vasodilator (6). Inosine is known to stimulate DNA- and RNA synthesis in vitro (1). This is the reason for the claim that inosine can stimulate protein synthesis.
7.3 Effective route(s) of administration
I have not been able to obtain exact data on absorption of inosine. However, it seems like oral inosine has a limited absorption and injected inosine should produce higher plasma levels (13).
7.4 Effects in patients
Inosine has been shown to improve myocardial contractility force in patients with coronary heart disease (8,9,10). Also patients who have gone through transplant surgery have shown increased force of heart muscle contraction (11). If the same effect would occur in the healthy athlete the increased myocardial contractility force could lead to an improved blood flow and oxygen supply to the skeletal muscles. Inosine also increases oxygen/haemoglobin affinity. A large proportion of inosine introduced into the bloodstream goes directly into the red blood cells. Those cells then pick up increased amounts of oxygen when they pass through the lungs, and deliver it to the muscles (12). The effect can last 1-2 hours but is only evident with injected inosine (13). No successful studies have been published when oral inosine has been used.
7.5 Effects in athletes
There are only a few studies carried out on athletes. Williams and colleagues examined the effect of six grams inosine taken orally before a five kilometre run on a treadmill (3). Despite the high dosage, no beneficial effects were noticed. On the contrary, the athletes experienced decreased endurance. Other studies, both human and animal, support these results (4,5). Snider and co-workers investigated the effect of
100 mg inosine in combination with 100 mg Q-10 (ubiquinone), 500 mg cytochrome C and 200 IU vitamin E three times/day (6). The study was carried out over a four week period and no significant changes in blood glucose, lactate and free fatty acid concentration at exhaustion were observed.
A Romanian study, carried out by Dragan and co-workers, showed positive results. They gave 1 500 mg inosine/day to advanced weight lifters for six weeks (7). They observed an increase in free fatty acids which, in theory, could lead to better endurance and fatty acid oxidation. The conductivity in certain muscle nerves increased which theoretically could result in increased strength. The results are uncertain and questionable since they have not been reproduced.
7.6 Toxicity
Inosine is metabolised to uric acid and excreted with the urine (5). If the levels of uric acid are elevated (> 5 mg/dl) over a period of time, gout may arise. It is due to the deposition of crystalline uric acid in joints.
7.7 Conclusion
Inosine is not an effective supplement for athletes and it is toxic due to its ability to elevate uric acid levels in serum. High uric acid levels may lead to gout.
