    Becker muscular dystrophy mice showed site-specific decay of type IIa fibers with capillary change in skeletal muscle

    Daigo Miyazaki, Mitsuto Sato ... Akinori Nakamura
    BMD mice with three different in-frame deletions corresponded to the severity of BMD patients with the same deletions, and they showed type IIa muscle fibers reduction with morphological capillary changes.
