Increased dystrophin mRNA and protein levels in atrophic skeletal muscles in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats

Severe diabetes frequently induces skeletal muscle atrophy, and dystrophin disruption has been implicated in the pathogenesis of skeletal muscle atrophy. We hypothesized that the downregulation of dystrophin expression causes diabetic-induced muscle atrophy, and investigated whether dystrophin mRNA...
