Measurement of muscle fibre diameter by computer-aided image analysis
International Journal of Man-Machine Studies, 1981We describe an experiment to measure widths of muscle fibres by four methods, one manual and three based on interactive computer graphics using an image analyser. In all cases the width is defined as the length of a line associated with the fibre.

Length, Diameter and Number of Ageing Skeletal Muscle Fibres
Gerontology, 2009The sternomastoid, biceps brachii and tibialis anterior muscles of ageing mice were compared with controls. The biceps brachii and tibialis anterior were lighter in the ageing mice and contained fewer fibres. There was also evidence of compensatory hypertrophy present.

Myosin heavy chain and fibre diameter of extrinsic tongue muscles in rhesus monkey
Archives of Oral Biology, 2006The purpose of this investigation was to identify the myosin heavy chain (MHC) phenotype and fibre diameters of hypoglossal innervated extrinsic tongue muscles in rhesus monkey.Genioglossus, styloglossus and hyoglossus muscle samples obtained from three female rhesus monkeys were analysed for MHC isoforms via gel electrophoresis and stained with MHC ...

SummarySectional and intrasectional variations in muscle fibre diameter over a restricted axial range were examined in seven bovine muscles from foetuses, calves and steers. Significant sectional variations were found in four muscles, while two muscles showed significant intrasectional variations.

The usefulness of muscle fibre diameter in studies of the lean meat content of pigs
Animal Science, 1966Samples of the longissimus dorsi muscle were removed by biopsy from 4 pigs at intervals during the period from weaning to 125 lb. live-weight. In parallel studies involving 127 pigs attempts were made to relate mean fibre diameter to indexes of lean meat content of a range of bacon pig carcasses but only poor correlations were obtained.

Type, diameter and distribution of fibres in some respiratory and abdominal muscles of the goat
Veterinary Research Communications, 1993This study was designed to determine the histochemical properties, size and composition of fibres in the diaphragm, intercostal and abdominal muscles of goats to clarify whether reported similarities in respiratory muscle physiology between goats and humans have a structural basis. Serial sections (10 microns) of muscular tissue from adult female goats

Using both slack tests and force clamp experiments, the velocity of unloaded shortening (Vu; Vu(st), slack test; Vu(fc), force clamp) was determined for maximally Ca(2+)-activated myofibrillar bundles. These were obtained by mechanically splitting single muscle fibres of rat, rabbit, crab and lobster skeletal muscles.

The effect of muscle hyper- and hypoactivity upon fibre diameters of intact and regenerating nerves
Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 1973Abstract The mean nerve fibre diameters of intact and regenerating nerves to the rat soleus have been compared with similar nerves from immobilized limbs and limbs contralateral to immobilization. Forty-two days after sciatic nerve crush, the 3 groups of regenerating nerves showed a unimodal fibre spectrum, with a shift to the left of nerves from ...

ABSTRACT Fibre diameter and enzyme content were studied in the flight muscles of butterflies exhibiting various capacities for flight. The flight muscles of the better fliers are composed of narrow fibres, while those of the poor fliers are composed of larger fibres.
