Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most devastating form of inherited muscular dystrophy in men. The loss of dystrophin causes progressive weakness and degeneration of skeletal and cardiac muscle leading to the ...

The present study had the objective of evaluating calcium accumulations in muscle fibers and their correlation with the canine muscular dystrophy. After the deaths of the animals (13 dystrophic and 3 non-dystrophic), samples ...

Urinary spontaneous visible luminescence is enhanced in children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). This result is indicative of systemic oxidative stress in DMD patients. It is proposed that measurement of the urinary ...

Commonly used in clinical practice, glutamic oxalacetic (GOT) and glutamic piruvic (GPT) transaminases are produced in various body tissues, including striated muscle, so their blood elevation is not due exclusively to ...

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive disorder, characterized by progressive muscle weakness. Historically, pain has not been considered to be a major symptom in DMD. Objective: To investigate the ...

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is secondary to loss-of-function mutations in the dystrophin gene. The causes underlying the progression of DMD, differential muscle involvement, and the discrepancies in phenotypes among ...
