Early lenses of mouse embryos were studied with the electron microscope to determine whether their cells contain organelles that can be causally related to the invagination of the lens placode. The cells of the placode and early lens cup are joined at their apical ends by junctional complexes. At th

Isometric force and stiffness of fast-and slow-twitch muscles of affected and normal mice of the 129/ReJ dy/dy strain were studied at rest and during active contraction at a variety of lengths. Dystrophic muscles developed less force in response to stimulation, but the resting stiffness was not redu
To determine whether abnormality in redox metabolism occurs specifically in certain individual dystrophic muscles, thiobarbituric acid reactivity, free radical scavengers, and oxidative marker enzymes were measured in the liver, kidney, erythrocytes, heart, and four different individual skeletal mus
Inhibition of muscle degeneration by the tripeptide calpain inhibitor, leupeptin, was tested in vivo in a dystrophin-deficient mdx murine model. In a short-term control study, intramuscular administration of leupeptin for 30 days inhibited muscle degeneration as assessed by histologic analysis. Calp
## BACKGROUND. Cardiotoxicity, including ischemia and myocardial infarction, is one of the complications observed after treatment with interferon (IFN). Therefore, the question has been raised whether IFN may cause damage to the small myocardial blood vessels. ## METHODS. In this study, 400 U o
