Abstract
Erythrocyte superoxide dismutase activities and erythrocyte and plasma glutathione peroxidase activities have been determined in Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients, genetic carriers, and normal controls. A 19% decrease in red cell superoxide dismutase activity was observed in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Genetic carriers showed a level between that of the dystrophy patients and the normal controls. No abnormality was seen in the red cell or plasma activities of glutathione peroxidase.Entities:
