These two isoforms were separated in a SDS-PAGE gel system, stained using the coomassie and silver staining procedures, and the results were analyzed using a G:BOX system. The relative content of MyHC I isoform in muscle was 2.6 times higher than in human compared to horse muscle (p < 0.001), and 6.3 times higher than in rat muscle (p < 0.001). The relative content of MyHC IIx/d isoform in horse muscle is 2.7 times, and in rat muscle 2.2 times higher in comparison with human muscle (p < 0.001). The role of the MyLC isoform distribution in mammalian skeletal muscle seems to depend on the oxidative capacity of muscles.展开更多
