N normal phenotype
mortality/aging
• beginning at 8 weeks of age, begin to die suddenly
• premature mortality is also noted at 12, 16, and 28 weeks of age, with a 50% survival rate at 28 weeks of age

muscle
• all skeletal muscles show dystrophic changes
• regional degeneration and regeneration of muscle fibers is common and accompanied by an inflammatory infiltrate
• skeletal and cardiac muscle degeneration
• muscles exhibit pronounced Evans blue dye uptake, indicating alterations in membrane permeability of muscles
• beginning at 12 weeks of age, observe signs of cardiac muscle degeneration as indicated by areas of cell death and inflammatory infiltrate
• show a 42% drop in force generation over a five eccentric contraction protocol, however twich and tetanic force generation is normal

cardiovascular system
• frequent occurrence of perivascular fibrosis
• beginning at 12 weeks of age, observe signs of cardiac muscle degeneration as indicated by areas of cell death and inflammatory infiltrate

homeostasis/metabolism
• elevation in serum creatine kinase levels
