## Abstract In order to test the vascular hypothesis of muscular dystrophy, the gracilis muscle in 6hyphen; to 7hyphen;weekhyphen;old C57BL/6Jhyphen;dy^2J^ normal and dystrophic mice was studied using in vivo quantitative morphometric techniques to determine the total length and surface area of cap
## Abstract A realistic model of the distribution of the partially orientated capillaries in skeletal muscles has been introduced for stereological analyses. Distributional parameters not previously estimated for capillary networks in muscles have been quantified. These include the lengths of capil
## Abstract Muscle from dystrophic (129 ReJ dy/dy) mice, aged 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 months, was cocultured with normal embryonic mouse spinal cord. Cultures were scored for regeneration (myotubes) and differentiation (crossβstriated or contracting fibers) over a 28βday period. Although muscle from dyst
Protein synthesis in soleus and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles was measured in vitro to test the hypothesis that the lack of muscle protein accumulation in dystrophic conditions could be caused by a reduced sensitivity to insulin. We demonstrate that physiological insulin concentrations sti
