title: The increase in hexokinase activity in hereditary avian muscular dystrophy.
abstract: Hexokinase activity was found to be increased in both the more severely affected red (thigh) muscle of dystrophic chickens. The increase in activity was largely associated with the particulate fraction. These findings may indicate early events in the pathogenesis of avian muscular dystrophy.
