“…However, as mentioned in the Introduction, there are limitations to the whole muscle approach. It is only by studying individual motor units that it is possible to be certain of investigating the action of the drug on muscle fibres of the same histochemical type (Stein & Padykula, 1962;Kugelberg, 1973;Schmalbruch & Kamieniecka, 1975;Pullen, 1977). In addition, normal muscle contraction is based upon the activity of individual motor units, with the central nervous system having control of muscles solely at the level of individual motor units.…”

“…In most mammals, including the cat, the ATPase stain delineates the four muscle fiber types noted above (Ariano et al, 1973;Schmalbruch and Kamieniecka, 1975;English and Letbetter, 1982;Mabuchi et al, 1982;Hodgson et al, 1983;Matoba et al, 1985; Bras-0 1993 WILEY-LISS, INC. seur et al, 1987;Donselaar et al, 1987;Suzuki and Tamate, 1988). Myofibrillar ATPase staining reaction appears to be related to the myosin isoform composition of the muscle (Betto et al, 1986).…”

Comparison of muscle cell fiber types and oxidative capacity in gracilis, rectus femoris, and triceps brachii muscles in the ferret (Mustela putorius furo) and the domestic dog (Canis familiaris)

Muscle cell fiber types in gracilis, rectus femoris, and long head of triceps brachii muscles of ferrets and dogs were identified on serial sections stained for myosin ATPase after preincubation at pH values of 9.8, 4.6, and 4.3 and for NADH-tetrazolium reductase (NADH-TR) activity. Although fiber types I and II were identified, the ATPase stain did not demonstrate classic type IIA/IIB fiber differences in either species. However, two type II fiber subtypes could be distinguished in the ferret because they differed slightly in staining intensity with ATPase at pH 4.3 and markedly with NADH-TR. One ferret type II fiber (designated II dark or IID) was smaller, slightly darker on ATPase, more oxidative on NADH-TR, and comprised more muscle volume than the other type II fiber (designated II light IIL). The IID fibers of ferret may represent the IID/X fibers of other authors. Both ferret type II fiber subtypes stained darker at pH 4.3 than canine II fibers. The NADH-TR staining indicated high oxidative activity in canine and ferret type I fibers. In contrast, type II fibers in the dog and IIL fibers in the ferret were moderately oxidative. Canine type IIC fibers were intermediate between type I and type II, whereas in the ferret, type IIC fibers were highly oxidative, as were type IID fibers. Ferret muscles are more oxidative than canine muscles according to NADH-TR staining. Also, ferret muscles possess 40-100% higher citrate synthase activity as compared to canine muscles.
