The expression of fast myosin heavy chain (MyHC) genes was examined in vivo during fast skeletal muscle development in the inbred White Leghorn chicken (line 03) and in adult muscles from the genetically related dystrophic White Leghorn chicken (line 433). RNA dotblot and northern hybridization was

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
The degeneration-regeneration process was induced by bupivacaine injection in innervated, denervated, and nerve-blocked rat soleus muscles. Nerve block was obtained by superfusion of the sciatic nerve with tetrodotoxin (TTX). Two weeks after bupivacaine injection, immunohistochemical and electrophor
## Abstract We have previously demonstrated that __p__^__100H__^ mutant mice, which lack a functional Sox6 gene, exhibit skeletal and cardiac muscle degeneration and develop cardiac conduction abnormalities soon after birth. To understand the role of Sox6 in skeletal muscle development, we identifi
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
