... the same biochemical defect as human classic congenital muscular dystrophies. Results: Twitch force/area was reduced by 46% in dy/dy dystrophic diaphragm, but isometric twitch kinetics were not altered. During repetitive 25-Hz stimulation, normal muscle demonstrated early force potentiation lasting 20 s...
