Hypothesized model for creatine-mediated protection of oligodendrocytes. Creatine treatment promotes oligodendrocyte restoration after demyelinating injury by inhibiting caspase-dependent oligodendrocyte death. Although the precise mechanism remains to be elucidated, it is hypothesized that creatine activation of MtCK may inhibit apoptotic initiation directly.
