To alleviate ischemia-induced injury in the myocardium, a tissue that depends critically on energy-yielding processes, creatine may be used to enhance energy metabolism, whereas D-ribose may provide building blocks for ATP synthesis. We test the hypothesis that simultaneous supplementation of creatine+D-ribose protects non-irreversibly injured ischemic cardiomyocytes by reducing apoptosis.
