The current work was conducted to verify the contribution of neuromuscular transmission
defects at the neuromuscular junction to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy disease
progression and respiratory dysfunction. We tested pyridostigmine and pyridostigmine
encapsulated in liposomes (liposomal PYR), an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor to improve

evaluated in vivo with the whole-body plethysmography, the ventilatory response to …
