Beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) improves daily activity and whole-body protein metabolism in Duchenne muscular dystrophy dogs: a pilot study

Abstract Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe neuromuscular disease due to loss of dystrophin, leading to progressive muscle wasting and physical inactivity. In this pilot study, we studied the effect of daily supplementation of the anabolic substrate beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB)...
