Muscle Structure Influences Utrophin Expression in mdx Mice

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe muscle wasting disorder caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. To examine the influence of muscle structure on the pathogenesis of DMD we generated mdx(4cv):desmin double knockout (dko) mice. The dko male mice died of apparent cardiorespiratory fail...
