... by The Company of Biologists Ltd 2021 Summary: In varanid lizard hindlimb muscles, muscle fibre cross-sectional area scales with body mass to the power 0.278–0.197, while the proportion of low-glycogen fibres decreases with mass in some muscles. Fibre type Muscle architecture Scaling Varanids...

... and creatine kinase activities. Cross-sectional areas, fibre type and oxidative capacities of each fibre type were determined in the vastus lateralis only. The predominant fibre type in both muscle groups and species were type IIX (>50%), with springbok having more type IIX fibres than fallow deer ( P...

...Joseph F. Y. Hoh SUMMARY There are four fibre types in mammalian limb muscles, each expressing a different myosin isoform that finely tunes fibre mechanics and energetics for locomotion. Functional demands on jaw-closer muscles are complex and varied,and jaw muscles show considerable phylogenetic...

...Gordon J. Lutz; Shannon N. Bremner; Michael J. Bade; Richard L. Lieber SUMMARY Isoforms of myosin heavy chain (MHC) and myosin light chain (MLC) influence contractile kinetics of skeletal muscle. We previously showed that the four major skeletal muscle fibre types in Rana pipiens (type 1, type 2...
