"Muscle Biopsy" ed. by Challa Sundaram

This book provides the advances in the basic techniques of muscle biopsy for a neuroscientist. The deals with the procedure and interpretation of muscle biopsy, its use in the culture of myotubes and membrane transport studies.

Muscle biopsy is an important technique to investigate mitochondrial dysfunction and the mitochondrial DNA integrity in oxidation.
Phosphorylation in various metabolic diseases like obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus and peripheral vascular disease is explored in the other chapters with detailed descriptions on methodology.
