Muscles from normal, wild-type mice (black line) have normal force, while the muscles of mutant mdx mice (blue line) are much weaker.

Graphic representation of normalized muscle (red line) and saline-injected control (blue line) compared with age-matched C57VI/10 (black line). The distal tendon of the tibialis anterior muscle was dissected from the bone and the force was measured when the proximal tendon remained attached to the bone.
