Skeletal muscle fibre types: detection methods and embryonic determinants.

Abstract excerpt

Muscle fibres used to be simply classified as either type I, IIa or IIb. Advances in molecular and histological techniques have, however, lead to the realisation that the phenotypes of muscles are more varied than this. An additional fibre type (IIX/IID) has been discovered, fibres with intermediate fibre types have been described and there is accumulating evidence that the fibres types described from the study...
