Distinct increase in content of blood serum total phospholipids, phosphatidyl choline, sphingomyelin and lysophosphatidyl choline was observed in 14 boys with the primary X-linkaged myopathy, Dushenne type, at the first phase of the disease. As the impairment developed, content of total phospholipids, phosphatidyl choline and phosphatidyl ethanolamine was slightly decreased but concentration of lysophosphatidyl choline and sphingomyelin was kept as high as the initial level.
