Exposure to irreversible cholinesterase (ChE)-inhibiting compounds, such as organophosphates may produce neuromuscular dysfunction. However, less is known about changes in neuromuscular transmission after treatment with reversible ChE-inhibitors. These studies adapted single fiber electromyography (SFEMG) techniques to quantify neuromuscular jitter in

To examine the effect of immobilization on the development of articular cartilage, we assessed glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content in the chick articular surface by delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC). Chick embryos were paralyzed by decamethonium bromide (DMB) from day 10

Clubfoot is a birth defect that may be related to muscle weakness or imbalance. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among muscle and tendon size and embryonic motility in a paralyzed chick embryo model of clubfoot

Transgenic mouse models with nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) knockouts and knockins have provided important insights into the molecular substrates of addiction and disease. However, most studies of heterologously expressed neuronal nAChR have used clones obtained from other species, usually human

This study determined the effect of decamethonium bromide (DMBr), a non-competitive blocker of the neuromuscular junction, on skeletal muscle development during chick embryogenesis. Decamethonium bromide caused generalized edema and high mortality with treated embryos rarely surviving beyond day 16 of
