Abstract excerpt
The avian Low Score Normal (LSN) genetic muscle weakness is phenotypically characterized by a reduction in the ability of the birds to right themselves from a supine position. Compared to normal skeletal muscle, LSN muscle has normal myosin isoform switching and cell-cell recognition, elevated glycosaminoglycan and decorin levels at embryonic Day 20, and a large increase in collagen crosslinking at 6 wk...
