Abnormal cardiac morphology, function and energy metabolism in the dystrophic mdx mouse: an MRI and MRS study.
Patients with muscular dystrophy have abnormal cardiac function and decreased high-energy phosphate metabolism. Here, we have determined whether the 8 month old mdx mouse, an animal model of muscular dystrophy, also has abnormal cardiac function and energetics. In vivo cardiac MRI revealed 33% and 1...
