## Abstract The contractile speed of striated muscle is correlated with myosin adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity. In crustaceans, ATPase activity in fast muscle is about fourβfold greater than that in slow muscle. Slow and fast myosins were purified from the crusher claw closer and the dee

## Abstract Myosin heavy chain (MHC) mRNA and protein profiles in adult rat soleus and adductor longus were determined after 4, 8, 15, 30, 60, and 90 days of spinal cord isolation (SI). SI results in complete neuromuscular inactivity while leaving the motoneuronβmuscle fiber connections intact. Fro
Expression of the slow myosin heavy chain (MyHC) 2 gene defines slow versus fast avian skeletal muscle fiber types. Fetal, or secondary, skeletal muscle fibers express slow MyHC isoform genes in developmentally regulated patterns within the embryo, and this patterning is at least partly dependent on
This study evaluated the influence of dystonia musculorum (dt) mutation, characterized by spinocerebellar fibers degeneration, on cardiac and skeletal muscles: one respiratory (diaphragm, Dia), three masticatory (anterior temporalis, AT; masseter superficialis, MS; and anterior digastric, AD), one h
