Enzymological Study of Progressive Muscular Dystrophy

Enzymological studies on hereditary avian muscular dystrophy.

White and red muscles of normal and genetically dystrophic chickens were compared with regards to activity levels of three soluble enzymes, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, creatine phosphokinase, and acetyl phosphatase. In dystrophic white muscle (pectoral), activity of the two sulfhydryl enzymes, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and creatine phosphokinase, was preferentially ...

[Progressive muscular dystrophy].

This paper describes the case of a young man with progressive muscular dystrophy who had supraventricular arrhythmias and intractable congestive failure. Hemodynamic studies and left cineventriculographic findings were compatible with a diagnosis of severe left ventricular failure. Coronary cinearteriography showed an abrupt ending of the artery to the sino-atrial node. At necropsy, a noninflam...
