## Abstract Cardiomyopathic hamsters (UMβX7.1 strain) have demonstrable myopathy involving both skeletal and cardiac muscle. In addition, they have multiple ocular abnormalities. In this study, extraocular muscles were examined by light and electron microscopy. Changes observed within affected musc

AS part of a study on the implication of elevated Ca2.+ levels in the myofibrillar degeneration seen in dystrophic muscle, the content of calmodulin and the activity of Ca2+-activated neutral protease (CANP) have been measured in normal and dystrophic (UM-X7.1) hamsters. Calmodulin levels, expressed
## Abstract In this study, the intracellular concentrations of six elements (mmole/kg dry weight) were directly measured in the muscle fibers of pectoralis major muscles of eight week old, genetically dystrophic and normal chickens by the Xβray microanalysis technique. The extent of muscle degenera
