ABSTRACT
Creatine (Cr) plays an important role in storage and transmissionof phosphate-bound energy. Cerebral creatine deficiencysyndromes comprise three inherited defects in Cr biosynthesis andtransport. The aim of this study was to investigate whether Cr andGuanidinoacetate (GAA) can be detected in saliva of healthysubjects and to establish the relationship between salivary andplasma levels of these molecules. An adapted gas chromatography(GC) method is described for the quantification of Cr and GAAbiomarkers in saliva. Reference values were established for GAAand Cr in saliva. These values were age dependent (p= 0.001). Nodifference between genders was observed. We detected a differencebetween GAA and Cr concentrations in saliva and in plasma. TheGC method for simultaneous determination of GAA and Cr inhuman saliva is fast, reliable, sensitive, non-invasive and preciseto use as a biochemical approach in early detection of cerebralcreatine deficiency syndromes.
RESUMEN
La creatina (Cr) juega un importante rol en el almacenamiento y el transporte de energía unida al fosfato. Los síndromes de deficiencia de creatina cerebral comprenden tres defectos genéticos en la biosíntesis y transporte de creatina. Es propósito de este estudio investigar si el guanidinoacetato (GAA) y la Crpueden ser detectados en saliva de sujetos sanos e investigar la relación entre los valores de GAA y Cr en saliva con los niveles en plasma de estas moléculas. Se describe un método modificado de cromatografía gaseosa para la cuantificación de los biomarca -dores, Cr y GAA en este biofluído. Se establecieron valores de referencia para GAA y Cr. Estos valores dependen de la edad (P=0.001). No se observaron diferencias entre género. Se detectóuna diferencia entre la concentración de GAA y Cr en saliva con respecto al plasma. El método adaptado de cromatografía gaseosa para la determinación simultánea de GAA y Cr en saliva humana es fácil, seguro, sensible, no invasivo y preciso para utilizar como aproximación bioquímica en la detección temprana de lossíndromes de deficiencia de creatina cerebral.
