Explain the cause of symptoms observed and how the altered levels of the two hormones mentioned might have been the cause.
9. In a slow progressive disease in humans, muscle function is lost around 35 years of age. Design experiments to identify the molecular players involved in the disease development and how you will try to find the cure for it.
7. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) results from a mutation in Dystrophin gene. Can you treat the disease by injecting recombinant form dystrophin protein? Explain!
