Summary The results of this thesis indicate that vegetarianism and prior exercise can increase skeletal muscle creatine loading. The mechanisms by which these phenomena occur remain unknown but may be related to changes in the gene expression of a cellular pump within the muscle known as the "creatine transporter"
