Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X‐linked recessive myopathy due to mutations
in the dystrophin gene. Diaphragmatic weakness in DMD causes hypoventilation and …

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive disease of striated muscle
deterioration. Respiratory and cardiac muscle dysfunction are particularly clinically relevant …

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive disease caused, in most
cases, by the complete absence of the 427 kDa cytoskeletal protein, dystrophin. There is no …

Cardiac involvement in Duchenne muscular dystrophy is asymptomatic until function is
severely affected. Little is known about its evolution, and few animal models are available to …

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by absence of the integral structural protein,
dystrophin, which renders muscle fibres susceptible to injury and degeneration. This …

The dystrophin‐deficient (mdx) mouse remains the most commonly used model for
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Mdx mice show a predominantly covert …

In this exploratory study, we test the hypothesis that voluntary exercise affects the
progression of dystrophic changes in the left ventricle of the heart. Wild‐type …

Aims To determine whether altered beta-adrenergic responses contribute to early cardiac
dysfunction in mdx (X-linked muscular dystrophy) mice, an animal model for human …

Besides skeletal muscle abnormalities, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients
present with dilated cardiomyopathy development, which considerably contributes to …

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive and fatal disease of muscle wasting
caused by loss of the cytoskeletal protein dystrophin. In the heart, DMD results in …
