Fresh meat quality is greatly determined through biochemical changes occurring in the
muscle during its conversion to meat. These changes are key to imparting a unique set of …

Mammalian skeletal muscles are composed of two major fibre types (I and II) that differ in
terms of size, metabolism and contractile properties. In general, slow‐twitch type I fibres are …

ABSTRACT AMP‐activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a sensor of cellular energy status that
plays a central role in skeletal muscle metabolism. We used skeletal muscle‐specific …

Skeletal muscle glycogen content can impact the extent of postmortem pH decline.
Compared to glycolytic muscles, oxidative muscles contain lower glycogen levels …

Anaerobic glycolysis dominates energy metabolism postmortem. Even so, however, recent
studies suggest mitochondria can modify postmortem energy metabolism and may …

Our objective was to determine the influence of mitochondria on metabolites and pH decline
using an in vitro model of postmortem muscle metabolism. Mitochondria were isolated from …

The objective of this study was to determine the influence of Brahman genetics on muscle
contractile and metabolic phenotype and postmortem proteolysis. Cattle used in this study …

The metabolic roles of mitochondria go far beyond serving exclusively as the major producer
of ATP in tissues and cells. Evidence has shown that mitochondria may function as a key …

Skeletal muscle hypertrophy is a culmination of catabolic and anabolic processes that are
interwoven into major metabolic pathways, and as such modulation of skeletal muscle …

The purpose of this study was to test mitochondrial functionality under conditions simulating
postmortem metabolism. Isolated mitochondria from porcine longissimus lumborum (LLM) …
