Abstract
WHILE investigating various enzyme systems in a series of dystrophic and normal human muscles we observed that individual fibres showed a reciprocal relationship between phosphorylase and oxidative enzyme content. Although other workers have investigated the oxidative enzyme systems of normal1–3 and dystrophic4 muscle, no observations have been made on the relationship between the two enzymes.
