Summary

Extractions of muscle proteins of dystrophic, vitamin-E deficient rabbits show that in advanced dystrophy the actomyosin content of the extract (ionic strength = 0.11) is considerably reduced. The myosin content is even more reduced and may completely disappear from the extract. Actin, on the other hand, does not seem to be quantitatively effected by the dystrophy. The possible interrelationship between these results and the ATP content of the dystrophic muscles is briefly discussed.
