Creatine is a nutritional supplement with major application as ergogenic and neuroprotective substrate. Varying supplementation protocols differing in dosage and duration have been applied but systematic studies of total creatine (creatine and phosphocreatine) content in the various organs of interest are lacking. We investigated changes of total creatine concentrations in brain, muscle, heart, kidney, liver, lung and venous/portal plasma of guinea pigs, mice and rats in response to 2-8 weeks oral creatine-monohydrate supplementation (1.3-2g/kg/d; 1.4-2.8% of dietary intake). Analysis of creatine and phosphocreatine content was pet-formed by high performance liquid chromatography. Total creatine was determined as the sum of creatine and phosphocreatine. Presupplementation total creatine concentrations were high in brain, skeletal and heart muscle (10-22 mu mol/g wet weight), and low in liver, kidney and lung (5-8 mu mol/g wet weight). During creatine supplementation, the relative increase of total creatine was low (15-55% of presupplementation values) in organs with high presupplementation concentrations, and high (260-500% of presupplementation values) in organs with low presupplementation concentrations. The increase of total creatine concentrations was most pronounced after 4 weeks of supplementation. In muscle, brain, kidney and lungs, an additional increase (p
