In tadpoles of the North American bullfrog, Rana catesbeiana, spontaneous and thyroid hormone (T 3 )-induced metamorphosis is characterized by regression of the tail, which is preceded by a decrease in total protein synthesis in tail tissues. We have demonstrated that thyroid hormone treatment of a

## Abstract Juvenile stages of rainbow trout, smaller parr and older juveniles, termed smolts, show differences in red muscle contractile properties: parr red muscle has faster kinetics and a faster maximum shortening velocity than smolt red muscle. A developmental reduction in the number of MHC is
We isolated a neonatal skeletal myosin heavy chain (MHC) cDNA clone, CV11E1, from a cDNA library of embryonic chick ventricle. At early cardiogenesis, diffuse expression of neonatal skeletal MHC mRNA was first detected in the heart tube at stage 10. During subsequent embryonic stages, the expression
