Axonal transport in dystrophic hamsters
Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology
|February 1, 1981
Abstract:
Axonal transport of [3H]fucose, and choline acetyltransferase (CAT) was examined in 20-, 50-, and 100-day-old dystrophic and control hamsters. Irrespective of the age of the animal and therefore of the degree of muscle necrosis, there were no significant differences in the velocity of axonal transport of labelled protein or glycoprotein or in the accumulation of CAT at a nerve ligature between dystrophic and normal hamster.
