HYPERBRANCHED POLYMERS 4 2. Hyperbranched polymers 2.1. Topology Hyperbranched polymers belong to a class of synthetic tree-like macromolecules called dendritic polymers (Gao and Yan, 2004). They are polymers with densely branched structure and a large number of end groups.

Skeletal muscle is affected by rhabdomyolysis. Myoglobin is a protein component of the muscle cells that is released into the blood when the skeletal muscle is destroyed in rhabdomyolysis. Creatine kinase is an enzyme (a protein that facilitates chemical reactions in the body) also in the muscle cells. The level of each of these proteins can be measured in blood to monitor the degree of muscle injury from rhabdomyolysis. Myoglobin can also be measured in samples of urine.
