The Qualitative Effects of Resveratrol and Coenzyme Q10 Administration on the Gluteus Complex Muscle Morphology of SJL/J Mice with Dysferlinopathy
Dysferlinopathy is a form of muscular dystrophy affecting muscles of the shoulder and pelvic girdles, resulting from inheritance of a mutated dysferlin gene. The encoded dysferlin protein is proposed to be involved in sarcolemmal vesicle fusion with a disrupted plasma membrane; however, with defecti...
