Nine patients with adult-onset acid maltase deficiency (Pompe's disease) were examined clinically and with computed tomography (CT). The CT scan showed early and severe involvement of the muscles of trunk and thighs, with selective sparing of the tensor fasciae latae, short head of biceps femoris, g

## Abstract A patient with progressive involvement of respiratory function from adultβonset acid maltase deficiency is reported. The decrement in objective and subjective waking and sleeping respiratory variables was significantly reversed by inspiratory muscle training. This training was accomplis
In Japanese quails with late-onset acid maltase deficiency (AMD), the activity of acid a-glucosidase was severely reduced to approximately 16% of the normal level from an embryonic age. The kinetic characteristics and inhibition by Zn indicated that the residual activity was responsible for the intr
The cytoskeletal proteins actin, nebulin, spectrin, desmin, vinculin and talin were labelled immunohistochemically in sections of muscle from commercially available pigs and cod (Gadus morhua) taken pre-rigor and from samples stored for several days. Actin, nebulin and spectrin gave similar labellin
