Higher levels of total serum creatine kinase activity have been reported in black compared with white North Americans of the same sex. In a study among South Africans, we found such an interracial difference was notable only for males. The difference was heightened by physical activity. This study affirms the importance of sampling the indigenous population when developing a reference range for total creatine kinase activity.
据报道,与同性别北美白人相比,黑人血清总肌酸激酶活性水平更高。在一项针对南非人的研究中,我们发现这种种族间差异仅在男性中显著。体育活动会加大这种差异。这项研究证实了在制定总肌酸激酶活性参考范围时对本土人群进行抽样的重要性。
