Histochemical fiber typing and staining intensity in cat and rat muscles.
Authors:H Schmalbruch  Z Kamieniecka
Abstract:In the gastrocnemius muscle of cat and rat, staining for oxidative enzymes differentiated three fiber types (A,B,C) and staining for adenosine triphosphate at pH 9.4 differentiated two fiber types (I, II) with a reliability of 90% and 98%, respectively. In cat 96% and in rat 90% of the fibers were typed identically after staining for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotidelinked lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) and succinic dehydrogenase (SDH). When differentiated by staining for LDH, A and B fibers were of type I. IN RAT, 80-90% OF ALL FIBERS WERE OF TYPE 22, COMPPRISING A, B and C fibers. Type I fibers stained for LDH intensely as did C fibers of type II, but stained intermediately for SDH. The degree of staining was measured by photometry. When fibers were stained for LDH, histograms of density showed three peaks corresponding to A, B and C fibers in cat, but only two peaks corresponding to A and C fibers in rat, In cat and rat, the densities of A, B and C fibers belonged to different populations. In soleus muscle of cat and rat stained for LDH, menadione-linked alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase and adenosine triphosphatase at pH 9.4, the degree of staining differed from thatin any type of fiber in gastrocnemius muscle
