Muscular Dystrophies at Different Ages: Metabolic and Endocrine Alterations [PDF]
International Journal of Endocrinology, 2012 Common metabolic and endocrine alterations exist across a wide range of muscular dystrophies. Skeletal muscle plays an important role in glucose metabolism and is a major participant in different signaling pathways.

Implications of notch signaling in duchenne muscular dystrophy
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 This review focuses upon the implications of the Notch signaling pathway in muscular dystrophies, particularly Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD): a pervasive and catastrophic condition concerned with skeletal muscle degeneration.

Neuropathology, 2000 Muscular dystrophy is a group of genetically determined muscular disorders marked by progressive wasting and weakness of the skeletal muscle, but which often affect cardiac and smooth muscles or other tissues. The patterns of inheritance are either dominant or recessive although the gene may be defective because of a new mutation.

Proteomic profiling of Duchenne muscular dystrophy : protein patterns and candidate markers of disease [PDF]
, 2011 Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene is a severe chronic muscle-wasting disease leading to early loss of ambulation in patients and to death by the third decade.

Skeletal muscle in health and disease
Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2020 Skeletal muscle fibres are multinucleated cells that contain postmitotic nuclei (i.e. they are no longer able to divide) and perform muscle contraction.
