Fig. 8From: Dystrophin restoration therapy improves both the reduced excitability and the force drop induced by lengthening contractions in dystrophic mdx skeletal muscleEffect of partial dystrophin restoration in the TA muscle from mdx mice. a Force and CMAP (RMS) drops following lengthening contractions in mdx mice injected with AAV1-U7ex23. b Specific maximal force and muscle weight before lengthening contractions in mdx mice injected with AAV1-U7ex23. c Force and CMAP relationship during lengthening contractions and 20 min recovery in mdx and mdx mice injected with AAV1-U7ex23. U7-ex23 AAV1-U7ex23, Mdx mdx muscle injected with saline, Mdx + U7ex23 mdx muscle injected with AAV1-U7ex23, a significantly different from before lengthening contractions (p < 0.05), c significant difference with non-injected muscle (p < 0.05). n = 8–13 per groupBack to article page
