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

It has recently been suggested, based on studies of tissue pathology, that the limb muscles of old mdx mice may be a good model for the muscular changes seen in human Duchenne muscular dystrophy. To test this hypothesis, we measured force and stiffness of soleus and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) m
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. This idea was tested by counting the numbers
