At least 250,000 people in the
U.S. suffer from MD, and there
is no proven cure, preventive or

. even controlling treatment for

themostly hereditary affliction.
About 50,000 are disabled com-
pletely, confined? for life to

tional medical bill is $125 mil-
lion annually,

But at New York’s Institute
for Muscle Research, there's
cautious hope that. experiments
with 1,000 caged chickens may
reduce this human and eco-
nomic toll.

About half are a special New
Hampshire breed afflicted by
an hereditary disease that
closely resembles muscular
dystrophy.

Researchers have found that
chemicals derived from vegeta-
ble oils, including oil from the
yeliow safflower plant, have
been able to show with some de-
gree of consistency the proc-
esses in chickens that parallel
MD. This constitutes the first
such demonstration in any liv-
ing creature,

Dr. Ade Milhorat, director of

- the institute, says that even if

the chemicals fai! to provide a
treatment, the studies at least
may lead to ‘a more complete
understanding of the cause and-
nature of muscular dystrophy.”

Moreover, he says, some of
the chemicals sometimes re- .
