| Research Abstract |
Morpho-functional relationship between myostatin and muscle spindle was investigated in bovine skeletal muscles, using double-muscled cattle"Grass-field shorthorn". Though this study was stricken seriously by the Great East Japan Earthquake, we found that slow muscles contained many type I myofibers exhibited lower expression of myostatin than fast muscle did. Furthermore our results suggested that a calcium ion signaling in myofiber might play a crucial role in myofiber type fast-to-slow transformation.
