The sizes of motoneurons supplying hindlimb muscles in the mouse

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B. Biological Sciences, 1981
Abstract Motoneurons supplying identified muscle groups in the mouse spinal cord were labelled by retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase. The size of motoneurons was estimated by measuring perimeter and cross-sectional area at the level of the nucleolus for the following seven major muscle groups: quadriceps femoris, adductors

Muscle Fiber Size and Chronic Exposure to Hypoxia

1989
Sarcomere length is practically never considered when fiber size and dependent variables are compared between muscles or experimental conditions. Because of the direct dependence of fiber cross-sectional area on muscle shortening, it is imperative to normalize measurements of fiber size, and related variables (e.g.

The size of motor units in laryngeal muscles of the rat

Experientia, 1982
The size of motor units in rat laryngeal muscles was determined by correlating the number of neurons labeled by i.m. injections of horseradish peroxidase with the number of motor end plates stained for acetylcholinesterase. The cricothyroid has a motor unit size of 8 muscle fibers per motor neuron and the posterior cricoarytenoid 4-5 muscle fibers per ...

Number and size of motor units in thenar muscles

Clinical Anatomy, 2004
AbstractThe number and size of motor units (MUs) in the thenar muscles of 10 fresh adult cadavers (33–74 years old) were estimated by histological methods. The average number of MUs was 161 ± 26 and the MU size was 93 ± 11.5. Adductor pollicis showed a significantly greater MU size.

The relationship of muscle fibre size to tenderness of beef

Meat Science, 1991
Steaks were removed from loins of beef carcasses at 1, 3, 6 or 14 days post mortem for fragmentation index (MFI), Warner-Bratzler Shear Force (SF) and sensory panel tenderness evaluation. Also, after 1 day of storage, samples were removed for histological observations.

Ultrasonographic assessment of human skeletal muscle size

European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2004
The measurement of human muscle size is essential when assessing the effects of training, disuse and ageing. The considered 'gold standard' for cross-sectional area measurements of muscle size is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, MRI is costly and often inaccessible.

The size of motoneurons of the gastrocnemius muscle in rats with diabetes

Neuroscience Letters, 2012
Alterations in the number and size of motoneurons were studied in the medial gastrocnemius (MG) motor nucleus of diabetic rats (12 or 22 weeks after injection of storeptozotocin) and age-matched controls. Each group contained 6 animals. MG motoneurons were retrogradely labeled by dextran-fluorescein and the number and size of cell bodies were examined.

Fiber Types and Size in Equine Skeletal Muscle

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1976
SUMMARY Frozen sections of equine musculus semitendinosus were examined for myosin adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-tetrazolium reductase (NADH-TR), using standard histochemical procedures, and the proportions of the various fiber types and average fiber sectional size were determined. With ATPase staining,

Variability of limb muscle size in young men

American Journal of Human Biology, 2009
AbstractThe purpose of this study was to determine the interindividual variability of the upper and lower limb muscle size in young men. Subjects were 655 Japanese men aged 18–39 years. They were sedentary and mildly to highly active individuals, including college athletes of various sports.
