Evaluation of intracellular calcium in golden retriever muscular dystrophy
(2011-07-01)
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 ...
Muscular Dystrophy in Dogs: Does the Crossing of Breeds Influence Disease Phenotype?
(Sage Publications Inc, 2011-05-01)
Golden Retriever (GR) muscular dystrophy is an inherited degenerative muscle disease that provides an excellent model for Duchenne muscular dystrophy in humans. This study defined the histopathologic lesions, including the ...
Hand Function in Muscular Dystrophies: Relationship Between Performance of Upper Limb and Jebsen-Taylor Tests
(Sage Publications Inc, 2017)
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between Performance of Upper Limb (PUL) and Jebsen-Taylor Test (JTT) to assess and monitor upper limb function progression in patients with muscular dystrophy. ...
Involvement of organic systems in golden retriever X-linked muscular dystrophy
(2011-07-01)
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a lethal genetic disease characterized by progressive muscle degeneration that usually had been used the Golden Retriever as a model for studying the disease (GRMD - Golden Retriever Muscular ...
Boys With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: 1-Year Locomotor Changes in Relation to a Control Group
(Sage Publications Inc, 2018)
We compared the timed performance and compensatory movements of 32 boys (mean age = 10.0 years) with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and 38 healthy boys (mean age = 9.2 years) on 10-meter walking and four-step stair work ...
The relevance of trunk evaluation in Duchenne muscular dystrophy: the segmental assessment of trunk control
(Assoc Arquivos Neuro- Psiquiatria, 2016)
The aim was to describe trunk control in ambulant and non-ambulant patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of a sample of 50 DMD patients, (M age = 16.7 years) who underwent ...
Distrofia muscular de DuchenneDuchenne's muscular dystrophy

Telethonin protein expression in neuromuscular disorders
(Elsevier B.V., 2002-10-09)
Telethonin is a 19-kDa sarcomeric protein, localized to the Z-disc of skeletal and cardiac muscles. Mutations in the telethonin gene cause limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2G (LGMD2G). We investigated the sarcomeric ...
Análise das dosagens e concentrações séricas da ciclosporina A em cães da raça Golden Retriever normais ou afetados pela distrofia muscular
(2008-12-01)
The muscular dystrophy of Golden Retriever (GRMD) is a degenerative miopaty caused by the absence of dystrophy and it is genetically homologue of the Duchenne muscular dystrophy in humans, so, these dogs are considerably ...
EPA protects against muscle damage in the mdx mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy by promoting a shift from the M1 to M2 macrophage phenotype
(2013-10-01)
In dystrophic mdx mice and in Duchenne muscular dystrophy, inflammation contributes to myonecrosis. Previously, we demonstrated that eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) decreased inflammation and necrosis in dystrophic muscle. In ...
