## Abstract We examine the muscle fiber population and metabolic properties of skeletal muscles from the whole body in Thoroughbred horses. Postmortem samples were taken from 46 sites in six Thoroughbred horses aged between 3 and 6 years. Fiber type population was determined on muscle fibers staine

Satellite cells are responsible for the formation of postnatal muscle fibers. The number, mitotic activity, and differentiation potential of satellite cells and the muscle fiber diameter are tightly regulated events in normal muscle. The signal that induces satellite cells to stop proliferation once
Twenty-one subjects with polio 24 to 51 years prior to the first examination were studied on three occasions, each 4 years apart with measurements of muscle strength and endurance for knee extension, macro EMG, and muscle biopsy from vastus lateralis. On average the muscle strength decreased during
