Skeletal muscle fibers are versatile entities, capable of changing their phenotype in response to altered functional demands. In the present study, fast-to-slow fiber type transitions were induced in rabbit tibialis anterior (TA) muscles by chronic low-frequency stimulation (CLFS). The time course o

Myosin heavy chains (hcs) are the major determinant in the speed of contraction of skeletal muscle, and various isoforms are differentially expressed depending on the functional activity of the muscle. Using the rapid amplification of cDNA ends (3Π RACE) method, we have characterised the 3Π end of t
Myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform composition was determined in 2264 single skeletal muscle fibers from vastus lateralis muscle of a group (n = 12) of very old subjects (average age, 88 years). The number of fibers containing only MHC I, IIA, or IIX was 19.9%, 27.2%, and 0.3%, respectively. Surprisin
## Abstract The effect of a tumor promoter, 12β0βtetradecanoyl phorbolβ13βacetate (TPA), on the expression of myosin heavy chain isoforms in cultured rat cardiac ventiricular muscle cells was studied. The previous preliminary report [Claycomb WC (1988): βBiology of Isolated Adult Cardiac Myocytes.β
## Abstract Lacerated skeletal muscles often do not recover full function after repair. Denervated muscles with altered myosin heavy chain isoform (MHC) profiles are known to result in functional impairment. We studied the functional recovery of lacerated muscles, assessing MHC profile changes in a
