The objectives of this review were to examine the present knowledge on:(1) the muscle fiber
characteristics of skeletal muscle,(2) the diversity of the myofibrillar protein isoforms and …

Re-wilding and similar initiatives have resulted in an increase in wildlife suitable for human
consumption in Europe. However, game meat production and consumption present several …

Some wild antelopes are fast sprinters and more resistant to fatigue than others. This study
therefore investigated two wild antelope species to better understand their reported …

Muscle fiber type, fiber cross-sectional area (CSA), enzyme activities (citrate synthase (CS),
3-hydroxyacetyl Co A dehydrogenase (3HAD), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and …

Muscle proteins are an important part of the diet in many cultures, as they make up the major
proportion (other than water) of lean meat. These proteins provide most of the texture, color …

Lion (Panthera leo) and caracal (Caracal caracal) skeletal muscle samples from Vastus
lateralis, Longissimus dorsi and Gluteus medius were analyzed for fiber type and citrate …

The scratch‐digging Cape dune mole‐rat (Bathyergus suillus), and the chisel‐toothed
digging naked mole‐rat (Heterocephalus glaber) are African mole‐rats that differ in their …

The aim of the study was to investigate the skeletal muscle characteristics of black
wildebeest (Connochaetes gnou) in terms of fibre type and metabolism. Samples were …

Skeletal muscle fibre type, cross-sectional area (CSA), maximum enzyme capacities and
fibre oxidative capacities were investigated in three southern African antelope species …

The domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris) species comprises hundreds of breeds, each
differing in physical characteristics, behavior, strength, and running capability. Very little is …
