When Is Creatine Phosphate Regenerated?

In the process of regeneration of ATP, creatine phosphate transfers a high-energy phosphate to ADP. The products of this reaction are ATP and creatine. Creatine phosphate can be obtained from two sources: ingestion of meat and internal production by the liver and kidneys.

How long does it take to replenish creatine phosphate?

The system is rapidly replenished during recovery; in fact, it requires about 30 seconds to replenish about 70% of the phosphagens and 3 to 5 minutes to replenish 100%.

Where does creatine phosphate replenish?

The immediate replenishment of ATP is catalyzed by a second creatine kinase, residing on the myofibril, that catalyzes the conversion of creatine-P to creatine. This reversal of the reaction takes place in the mitochondrion.
