✦ Synopsis
In searching for possible differences in acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) forms of dystrophic heart, the properties of ChE species in normal (NH) and dystrophic Lama2 dy mouse heart (DH) were investigated. BuChE predominated over AChE. Loosely-and tightly-bound ChEs were released with saline (extract S 1 ) and saline-Triton X-100 buffers (S 2 ). About 50% of AChE, and 25% of BuChE, in NH or DH was measured in S 1 , and the rest in S 2 . Asymmetric AChE forms A 12 (15%) and A 8 lack of structural differences between ChE species in NH and DH indicates that, in contrast to the ChE forms in mouse skeletal muscle, the biosynthesis of ChE components in heart is not disturbed by dystrophy.

## Abstract We report the consistent distribution of a population of pigmented trp‐1‐positive cells in several important septal and valvular structures of the normal mouse (C57BL/6) heart. The pigmented cell population was first apparent by E16.5 p.c. in the right atrial wall and extended into the
In the early stages of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, chronic muscle degeneration is counterbalanced by regeneration whose progressive failure beyond the fifth year is attributed to an accelerated senescence associated with excessive myogenic cell division.
