Abstract excerpt
The murine myostatin mutation Mstn(Cmpt-dl1Abc) (Compact; C) was introduced into an inbred mouse line with extreme growth (DUHi) by marker-assisted introgression. To study the allelic effects on muscle fibre hyperplasia and hypertrophy, myonuclear proliferation, protein accretion, capillary density, and muscle fibre metabolism, samples from M. rectus femoris (RF) and M. longissimus dorsi (LD) muscles of animals...
