Fibrous collagen from normal (line 412) and dystrophic (line 413) chicken pectoral muscles was examined for susceptibility to bacterial collagenase by a pH-stat titration method to assess the kinetics of peptide bond hydrolysis. These experiments showed that there was a profound difference in the ki

## Abstract Cardiomyopathic hamsters (UMβX7.1 strain) have demonstrable myopathy involving both skeletal and cardiac muscle. In addition, they have multiple ocular abnormalities. In this study, extraocular muscles were examined by light and electron microscopy. Changes observed within affected musc
Matrix stiffness (resistance to deformation), one of the many mechanical forces acting on cells, is increasingly appreciated as an important mediator of cell behavior. It regulates cell signaling broadly, with effects on growth, survival, and motility. Although the stiffness optima for different kin
## Abstract In this study, the intracellular concentrations of six elements (mmole/kg dry weight) were directly measured in the muscle fibers of pectoralis major muscles of eight week old, genetically dystrophic and normal chickens by the Xβray microanalysis technique. The extent of muscle degenera
