Abstract excerpt

This study examined the effect of genotype on prenatal muscle development in both normal-muscled (NM) animals and in double-muscled (DM) animals harboring a mutation in the gene for myostatin that results in the production of a functionally inactive protein. The following muscle development parameters were analyzed at four gestational ages: muscle weight, fiber type, by both enzyme histochemistry and myosin...
