Beneficial effects of high dose taurine treatment in juvenile dystrophic mdx mice are offset by growth restriction.
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal muscle wasting disease manifested in young boys, for which there is no current cure. We have shown that the amino acid taurine is safe and effective at preventing dystropathology in the mdx mouse model for DMD. This study aimed to establish if treating gr...
