Fig. 1. Skeletal muscle tissue of a 21-year-old patient with congenital central core myopathy. Histochemical analysis of succinate dehydrogenase activity in frozen sections (×200; the method was proposed by Sukhorukov VS) using the nitro BT method by Nachlass et al. (1957). The total absence of enzyme activity is observed in almost all longitudinal sections of the examined muscle fibers (the arrows)
Fig. 2. Skeletal muscle tissue of a 1-year-old patient with congenital central core myopathy Histochemical analysis of succinate dehydrogenase activity in frozen sections (×200; the method was proposed by Sukhorukov VS) using the nitro BT method by Nachlass et al. (1957). The total absence of enzyme activity is observed in almost all cross-sections of the examined muscle fibers (the arrows)
Fig. 3. Skeletal muscle tissue of a 3.5-year-old patient with congenital multiminicore myopathy Histochemical analysis of succinate dehydrogenase activity in frozen sections (×200; the method was proposed by Sukhorukov VS) using the nitro BT method by Nachlass et al. (1957). Cores are abundant in almost all longitudinal sections of the examined muscle fibers (the arrows)
