Inspiratory pressure‐generating capacity is preserved during ventilatory and non‐ventilatory behaviours in young dystrophic mdx mice despite profound diaphragm muscle weakness

KEY POINTS: Respiratory muscle weakness is a major feature of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), yet little is known about the neural control of the respiratory muscles in DMD and animal models of dystrophic disease. Substantial diaphragm muscle weakness is apparent in young (8‐week‐old) mdx mice, a...
