In Duchenne muscular dystrophy the activity of (Na+ + K+)ATPase in erythrocyte ghosts is reduced and its reaction to ouabain is paradoxical both in low sodium and high sodium systems. No such changes were seen in a case of Becker dystrophy, in limb-girdle dystrophy, and in neurogenic atrophy of musc
Erythrocytes from patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) were studied in relation to the extracellular calcium ion concentration. The shape of fresh erythrocytes in DMD was normal and not affected by Ca++. When DMD erythrocytes were stored in buffer solution with Ca++, however, the rate of
Erythrocyte ghost (Na+ + K+) ATPase activity was studied in mice with hereditary muscular dystrophy (strain C 57 BL 6J/dy) and appropriate controls. No difference was observed in the enzymatic activity between dystrophic and any of the healthy genotypes. Ouabain 5 mM and 0.1 mM inhibited the enzymat
