Abstract
Neural regulation of mature normal fast twitch muscle of the chicken suppresses high activity, extrajunctional localization, and isozyme forms of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) characteristic of embryonic, denervated and dystrophic muscle. Normal adult slow tonic muscle of the chicken retains intermediate levels of activity and embryonic isozyme forms but not extrajunctional activity; it is not affected by muscular dystrophy. The hypothesis that neural regulation of the AChE system is lacking in slow tonic muscle and thus not affected by dystrophy was tested by denervating the fast twitch posterior latissimus dorsi and slow tonic anterior latissimus dorsi muscles of normal and dystrophic chickens. Extrajunctional AChE activity and embryonic isozyme forms increased, then declined, in both muscles. The results suggest that control of AChE is qualitatively similar in slow tonic and fast twitch muscle of the chicken.

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) molecular forms were studied in normal (NM) and in dystrophic (DM) 129B6F1/ J mouse muscle. Successive extractions of the tissue with saline and saline-Triton X-100 buffers yielded two soluble fractions, S, and S,. Forty percent of the AChE in NM was measured in S, and 60
## Abstract In this study, the intracellular concentrations of six elements (mmole/kg dry weight) were directly measured in the muscle fibers of pectoralis major muscles of eight week old, genetically dystrophic and normal chickens by the Xβray microanalysis technique. The extent of muscle degenera
We have identified proteins in adult chicken skeletal muscle whose phosphorylation can be used as markers for the mature fast and slow muscle phenotype. These include phosphorylase, phosphorylase kinase, and a cyclic adenosine 3Π,5Π-monophosphate (cAMP)-stimulated, calmodulin-inhibited 28-kDa band (
Protein synthesis in soleus and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles was measured in vitro to test the hypothesis that the lack of muscle protein accumulation in dystrophic conditions could be caused by a reduced sensitivity to insulin. We demonstrate that physiological insulin concentrations sti
