A Novel tRF-Lys-TTT-012 in Qingyu Pigs Mediates the Conversion of Muscle Fibers from Fast-Twitch to Slow-Twitch Type

Animals
Skeletal muscle, the largest organ within the animal body, consists of multiple muscle fiber types. The distribution of these fiber types significantly impacts both athletic performance and the quality of meat.

Muscle spindles of the rat sternomastoid muscle

European Journal of Translational Myology, 2018
The sternomastoid (SM) muscle in rodents presents a peculiar distribution of fiber types with a steep gradient from the ventral, superficial, white portion to the dorsal, deep, red region, where muscle spindles are restricted. Cross section of the medial

Comparative analysis of the lipid profiles of bovine fast- and slow-type muscles

Food Chemistry: X
Lipid molecules are an important component of meat and are the main source of flavor. However, at present the lipid molecules in meat with different muscle fiber types in cattle are not fully understood.

MORPHOLOGICAL AND MORPHOMETRICAL STUDIES ON THE PECTORAL MUSCLE IN FOWL, DUCK AND PIGEON [PDF]

Assiut Veterinary Medical Journal, 1999
This work was carried out on twelve adult birds of each of fowl duck and pigeon. The morphological features of the pectoral muscle (Pars thoracis) were described. In addition the weight, length and thickness of this muscle were also recorded.

Polymorphism of myosin among skeletal muscle fiber types

Journal of Cell Biology, 1977
An immunocytochemical approach was used to localize myosin with respect to individual fibers in rat skeletal muscle. Transverse cryostat sections of rat diaphragm, a fast-twitch muscle, were exposed to fluorescein-labeled immunoglobulin against purified ...

Muscle Histology Characterization Using H&E Staining and Muscle Fiber Type Classification Using Immunofluorescence Staining

Bio-Protocol, 2017
Muscle function is determined by its structure and fiber type composition. Here we describe a protocol to examine muscle histology and myofiber types using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and immunofluorescence staining, respectively.

Postnatal alterations in skeletal muscle fiber composition of myostatin-knockout chickens

Poultry Science
In a previous study, we identified a hypermuscular phenotype attributed to both muscle fiber hyperplasia and hypertrophy in myostatin (MSTN)-knockout (KO) chickens generated by clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-associated protein ...
