Abstract excerpt
The myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoform composition of six adult (>7 months old) male and female rabbit masseter muscles was studied using seven monoclonal antibodies. In matched serial tissue sections, muscle fibers in 10 different neuromuscular compartments were analyzed. Nearly all fibers were found to express one of five phenotypes. They either contained one of four different slow/beta MyHC phenotypes...
