Creatine supplementation enhances immunological function of neutrophils by increasing cellular adenosine triphosphate
Carnitine is thus considered a "conditionally essential" nutrient since individuals' requirements might exceed dietary intake during specific disease states
The likely mechanisms include both peptides anti-inflammatory action, improved cerebral blood flow from angiogenesis, direct neuroprotective signaling, and support for nerve growth factor production

Degradation at the membrane level, however, seems to represent less than 2% of total degrading activity (Rabkin et al., 1984)
