Popis: SummaryThe levels and some properties of phosphodiesterase I and phosphodi-esterase II were determined in biopsied muscles from normal persons and the results were extended to diseased muscles. The activities of both enzymes were generally normal or minimally elevated in mildly affected muscles from patients with Duchenne dystrophy, other forms of dystrophies and related neuromuscular diseases. However, in severely abnormal muscles, with advanced dystrophy or advanced polymyositis, the levels of these enzymes were greatly elevated.
