Differential protein oxidation in Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy.

abstract：:Previous studies have shown that spatial memory retention is affected by the metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) influencing agents (R,S)-alpha-methyl-4-carboxyphenylglycine (MCPG) and trans-azetidine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid (tADA). In the present investigation we examined whether the mGluR antagonist MCPG (20 mM an...
