Increased plasma lipid levels exacerbate muscle pathology in the mdx mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy

open access: yesSkeletal Muscle, 2017
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by loss of dystrophin expression and leads to severe ambulatory and cardiac function decline. However, the dystrophin-deficient mdx murine model of DMD only develops a very mild form of the disease.

The Landscape of SPP1 + Macrophages Across Tissues and Diseases: A Comprehensive Review

open access: yesImmunology, Volume 176, Issue 2, Page 179-196, October 2025.
SPP1+ macrophages represent a conserved, disease‐associated population present across cancerous and non‐cancerous conditions, involved in immunosuppression, fibrosis, lipid metabolism, phagocytosis, and other cellular processes. This review highlights their shared molecular programmes across tissues, their interactions with stromal and immune cells ...

Myelination is delayed during postnatal brain development in the mdx mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy

open access: yesBMC Neuroscience, 2017
In Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), the loss of the dystrophin component of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC) compromises plasma membrane integrity in skeletal muscle, resulting in extensive muscle degeneration.

From fibro/adipogenic progenitors to adipocytes: Understanding adipogenesis in muscle degeneration for disease modulation

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, Volume 603, Issue 19, Page 5273-5297, October 1, 2025.
Abstract figure legend Fibro/adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) are cells resident in the muscle (skeletal and cardiac) niche. FAPs are active participants in the process of muscle degeneration in cardiovascular and neuromuscular diseases. Here, the accumulation of fatty and fibrous tissue is a hallmark.

Disuse‐induced muscle‐type specific alterations and adiponectin pathway response in male mice

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, Volume 13, Issue 20, October 2025.
(LeftPanel) HindLimb Unloading combined with Immobilization (HLUI) was used to induce Disuse Muscle Atrophy (DMA) via an optimized device that allow mouse displacements along the cage. As a result of muscle positioning during immobilization, the Soleus muscle was stretched and the Tibialis anterior (TA) muscle was shortened.

Mechanical and energetic properties of dystrophic (mdx) mouse muscle.

open access: yesThe Japanese Journal of Physiology, 1990
The mechanical and energetic properties of extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and soleus muscles of X chromosome-linked muscular dystrophic mutant (mdx) mice aged 4-6 weeks were studied and compared with those of the muscles of normal mice. Maximum tetanic tension, the speed of contraction of relaxation, and the heat production of mdx soleus muscles were ...

Improvement of Spontaneous Locomotor Activity in a Murine Model of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy by N‐Acetylglucosamine Alone and in Combination With Prednisolone

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 18, 30 September 2025.
Spontaneous locomotor activity of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) model mice was monitored using a cage system with external sensors. Mice received oral United State Pharmacopeia‐grade N‐acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), prednisolone (Pred)—a current standard of care for DMD—or a combination of both.

Components of the NGF signaling complex are altered in mdx mouse superior cervical ganglion and its target organs

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2008
We previously reported that in the superior cervical ganglion (SCG) of dystrophic mdx mice, which lack full-length dystrophin, there is a loss of neurons projecting to SCG muscular targets, like the iris.

Benefits of Prenatal Taurine Supplementation in Preventing the Onset of Acute Damage in the Mdx Mouse

open access: yesPLOS Currents, 2017
Introduction: Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a debilitating muscle wasting disorder with no cure. Safer supplements and therapies are needed to improve the severity of symptoms, as severe side effects are associated with the only effective ...

Altered social behavior and ultrasonic communication in the dystrophin-deficient mdx mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy

open access: yesMolecular Autism, 2015
BackgroundThe Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies (DMD, BMD) show significant comorbid diagnosis for autism, and the genomic sequences encoding the proteins responsible for these diseases, the dystrophin and associated proteins, have been proposed ...
