HOSENFELD et al.1 have recently reported investigations of plasma creatine kinase (ATP : creatine phosphotransferase) activity in mice with hereditary muscular dystrophy indicating that the disease in mice is more closely related to the limb girdle type of human muscular dystrophy than the Duchenne type of muscular dystrophy.
