Patients with muscular dystrophy have abnormal cardiac function and decreased high-energy phosphate metabolism. Here, we have determined whether the 8 month old mdx mouse, an animal model of muscular dystrophy, also has abnormal cardiac function and energetics. In vivo cardiac MRI revealed 33% and 104% larger right ventricular end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes, respectively, and 17% lower right...
4. Conclusions Altered expression of dystrophin led to a reduction in the myocardial PCr to ATP ratio in MD carriers and BMD patients. Decreased myocardial PCr was also observed in the mouse model of MD, themdx mouse, which had decreased myocardial glucose uptake in response to insulin and during ischaemia, with increased susceptibility to ischaemic damage. However, utrophin transgene expression corrected...
