Abstract
Four rabbit muscles (i.e. semimembranosus proprius, psoas major, biceps femoris and longissimus lumborum), differing in their fibre type composition in the adult, were investigated during postnatal development. Muscle samples were taken at 1, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 49 and 77 days of age. Complementary techniques were used to characterize myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform transitions, i.e. SDS-PAGE, immunocytochemistry and conventional histochemistry. Good accordance was found between electrophoretic and immunocytochemical techniques. Our results show that rabbit muscles were phenotypically immature at birth. At 1 day of age, perinatal isoform represented 70-90% of the total isoform content of the muscles. Two generations of myofibres could be observed on the basis of their morphology and reaction to specific antibodies. In all muscles, primary fibres expressed slow MHC. In contrast, secondary generation of fibres never expressed slow MHC in future fast muscles, while half of them expressed slow MHC in the future slow-twitch muscle, the semimembranosus proprius. During the postnatal period, all muscles displayed a transition from embryonic to perinatal MHC isoforms, followed by a transition from perinatal to adult MHC isoforms. These...Continue Reading
