Chemically skinned fibres from soleus and plantaris rat muscles were used to compare the contractile properties of slow and fast muscles. The maximal isometric tension appeared larger in plantaris than in soleus fibres. The apparent Ca z + threshold for activation was lower in slow than in fast fibr

Single fibres were isolated from the extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and the soleus (SOL) muscles of the hindlimb from young male Wistar rats which had undergone a 10-week programme of endurance swimming from the age of 2 weeks. Fibres were mechanically skinned and activated with Ca(2+)- and Sr(2+)-
Contractile properties and innervation patterns were determined in identified single fibers from the iliofibularis muscle of the desert iguana, Dipsosaurus dorsalis. Single fibers from both the red and white regions of the iliofibularis muscle were dissected along their length under oil and a portio
