The Ca, Mg, Na and K content of needle biopsy samples of human muscle from control subjects and patients with various neuromuscular disorders was analyzed by atomic absorption spectrometry. The Ca content of muscle from both patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and other myopathies was significantly elevated compared to both normal and patient control subjects. Muscle Na content was not significantly altered in any group compared to control subjects. Decreased Mg and K levels were found in muscle from patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, although the muscle Mg/K ratio was unchanged, the most likely explanation for this being non-specific loss of intracellular components from the cell.
