Vascular adrenergic receptor responses in skeletal muscle in myotonic dystrophy.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:To understand the mechanisms of skeletal muscle destruction and resistance to enzyme replacement therapy in Pompe disease, a deficiency of lysosomal acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA), in which glycogen accumulates in lysosomes primarily in cardiac and skeletal muscles. METHODS:We have analyzed compartments of the...
