## Abstract Magnetic resonance imaging and maps of T1 and T2 values were used to study muscle composition in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The mean T2 of anterior tibial muscle was 27 msec in healthy control subjects and 43 msec with increased fatty infiltration in DMD patients. In stronger DM
Muscle biopsies from patients affected by muscular dystrophies and polymyositis were processed with the method of in situ labeling of nuclear DNA fragmentation in order to assess whether apoptosis occurs in these diseases. Apoptotic nuclei were seen in the mononuclear cell infiltrates in inflammator
