Abstract excerpt
These experiments examined the myosin phenotype and bioenergetic enzyme activities in rat respiratory muscles. Muscle samples were removed from adult female Sprague-Dawley rats (N = 8) and analyzed to determine the myosin heavy chain (MHC) and light chain (MLC) isoform content as well as the activities of myofibrillar ATPase (mATPase), citrate synthase (CS; Krebs cycle enzyme), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH;...
