The impact of muscular dystrophy on limb bone growth and scaling in mice.

Acta anatomica - 1 Jan 1998

Lammers A R, German R Z, Lightfoot P S

Abstract excerpt

Muscular loading affects bone growth and the factors determining size and shape. However, it is not known what epigenetic impact muscular dystrophy (dystrophia muscularis) has on limb bone growth or ontogenetic scaling. To assess the effects of two types of muscular dystrophy (genotypes dy/dy and dy2J/dy2J) on limb bone growth, we measured lengths and widths of the right humerus, femur and tibia, and lengths of...
