Abstract excerpt
nNOS, anchored to the sarcolemma through its interactions with the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex, is dramatically reduced in dystrophin-deficient mdx mice and Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients. Recent evidence suggests that loss of nNOS in dystrophin-deficient muscle may contribute significantly to the progression of muscle pathology through a variety of mechanisms. To investigate whether nNOS plays a role...
