Muscle fibre number is a possible determinant of muscle fibre composition in rats.

Acta physiologica Scandinavica - 1 Nov 1999

Suwa M, Nakamura T, Katsuta S

Abstract excerpt

The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether the muscle fibre composition is related to the number of muscle fibres. To resolve this issue, we developed fast-twitch fibre dominant rats (FFDR) by selective breeding and compared the findings to those of control rats (CR) obtained by random breeding. Percentage of type I fibres of the deep portion of gastrocnemius (DG), soleus (SOL), vastus...
