Apoptosis precedes necrosis of dystrophin-deficient muscle
1 Jun 1995
Abstract excerpt
The current view that death of dystrophin-deficient muscle fibers is a necrotic process relies primarily upon the histological appearance of the tissue after the degenerative process is well advanced. Here, we tested this view by examining the possibility that apoptosis is a component of dystrophin-deficient muscle cell death. Three assays for apoptosis were employed in analyzing prenecrotic, peak necrotic and...
