Can the BB-rat help to unravel diabetic neuropathy?

abstract：:Fibre type differentiation was carried out on 20 biopsies from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) sufferers using the acid-preincubated reaction for myofibrillar ATPase. Fibres, classified as either type 1, type 2 or 2C, were counted and their minimum diameters (least fibre axis) measured. Particular attention was paid...
