  • Title: [Elevation of serum creatine kinase in the patients with Kanemi Yusho].
    Author: Yoshimura T, Okita M, Higashi T, Ueyama H, Ito H.
    Journal: Fukuoka Igaku Zasshi; 1997 May; 88(5):216-9. PubMed ID: 9194345.
    Abstract:
    18.9% of the patients with Kanemi Yusho showed an elevation of serum creatine kinase, however, the cause is still unknown. The relation between exercise, dehydration, thyroid hormone and concentration of PCB was studied. Dehydration, hyperexercise and PCB affected the elevation of creatine kinase. No relation between PCB and thyroid hormone or creatine kinase and thyroid hormone was observed. PCB may change the permeability of muscle plasma membrane.
