Aquaporin Expression in Normal and Pathological Skeletal Muscles: A Brief Review with Focus on AQP4

<table>High magnification freeze-fracture view of muscle plasma membrane P faces (a) and (b) and E faces (c) and (d).  Normal control muscle contains numerous orthogonal arrays (arrows in (a)) and their pits (arrows in (c)); while Duchenne muscular dystrophy muscle contains apparently no orthogonal arrays (b) and their pits (d).  Asterisk in (a)–(d) is caveolae.  Scale bar in (a)–(d) = 0.1 <svg height="9.6750002" id="M38" style="vertical-align:-2.29482pt" version="1.1" viewbox="0 0 9.6374998 9.6750002" width="9.6374998" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
