The study of 3H leucine incorporation into skeletal muscle of mouse muscular dystrophy (129 ReJ/dy Bar Harbour strain) shows the uptake of isotope into myofibrils. The techniques employed were light and EM autoradiography before and after glycerination (Szent-Gyorgyi 1947). The results indicate a marked drop in uptake of the 3H-Leucine into myofibrils in the dystrophic animals, supporting the contention of Nihei et al (1971) that reduced myosin synthesis occurs in mouse muscular dystrophy.
