title: Electron microscopic and histochemical studies on dystrophic masseter muscle.
abstract: Masseter muscles from normal and dystrophic mice were investigated with the electron microscope and by the use of histochemical techniques for myosin ATPase and succinic dehydrogenase activity. The observations show that the muscle fibers are severely affected in the masseter of the dystrophic mouse.
