title: Adenyl cyclase activity in Duchenne dystrophic muscle.
abstract: Adenyl cyclase activity in normal and Duchenne dystrophic muscle was assayed using a radiochemical method. In dystrophic muscle, the enzyme activity is reduced. The reduced enzyme activity and its adverse effects on energy metabolism in dystrophic patients are discussed.
