atp, cognición, creatina, procesamiento cognitivoResumen
La creatina es un compuesto químico natural presente en pequeñas cantidades en el cuerpo y determinados alimentos y suplementos, cuya principal función es suministrar energía inmediata a los tejidos que requieren de mayor demanda energética como son los músculos y el cerebro que se encarga del procesamiento cognitivo y desarrollo de funciones como la memoria, atención, gnosias, praxias y funcionamiento ejecutivo. Determinar la efectividad del consumo de creatina sobre el funcionamiento cognitivo. Se ha realizado una revisión bibliográfica que incluye 10 artículos científicos publicados en Scopus, Web of Science, Pubmed y Taylor and Francis. La suplementación con creatina ayuda en el rendimiento de algunas de las tareas cognitivas evaluadas en cada estudio; de las siete investigaciones que analizan cambios en la puntuación de memoria, 2 refieren cambios estadísticamente significativos. Sobre los resultados de tiempos de reacción, vigilancia y atención, 2 de los 6 estudios refieren cambios a favor del consumo de creatina. En relación con el funcionamiento ejecutivo, sólo un estudio de los 5 refieren beneficios de la suplementación. En cuanto a la cognición global, 1 de los 2 estudios reporta cambios de puntuación a favor del grupo de intervención. La suplementación con creatina no reporta efectos positivos en todas las funciones cognitivas estudiadas, se trata de un compuesto que no reporta efectos secundarios nocivos, y que hoy en día es seguro y fácil de consumir.
