SKELETAL MUSCLE DISEASES: RECENT ADVANCES AND SOME RELATED BASIC PROBLEMS.

Recent advances in the knowledge of the structure and function of voluntary muscle and some of its diseases are reviewed on the basis of a recently published international symposium. Among the subjects discussed are: the specific metabolic role of various muscle cell constituents (e.g. sarcosomes, microsomes, sarcoplasmic reticulum); the relaxing factor system and the dual (tonic and phasic) innervation of muscle fibres; observations on the physiology of muscle training; the morphologic differential diagnosis of degenerative skeletal muscle diseases; the value of serum enzyme determinations in the early detection of muscular dystrophy and in the identification of dystrophic carriers; the classification and diagnosis of muscular hypotonias of infancy; the role of inactivity and the trophic control of the nervous system in the development of neural (or denervation) atrophies; factors influencing regeneration of muscle fibres; the significance, as a research tool, of the identification of hereditary primary muscle disease in laboratory animals.
