Abstract: | Summary After 40 min of strenuous exercise on a bicycle ergometer (muscle provocation test, MPT), normal women and obligate carriers showed a progressive elevation of serum creatine kinase, with a peak 8 h after exercise. The diagnostic applicability of MPT for carrier detection is demonstrated. |
