Protein and mRNA analysis of myosin heavy chains in the develo** avian pectoralis major muscle
While the existence of post-hatch and adult myosin heavy chain isoforms in the large, avian type IIB pectoralis major muscle has been clearly established, the number and nature of fast myosin heavy chains duri...

Characterization of the myosin heavy chains of avian adult fast muscles at the protein and mRNA levels
High resolution anion-exchange chromatography of myosin subfragment-1 in avian fast muscles revealed five fast heavy chains (I--V) expressed in muscle-specific patterns. Sequence analysis of a unique peptide e...

Developmental myosin heavy chain progression in avian type IIB muscle fibres
Myosin heavy chain species were investigated during development in avian pectoralis major muscle (type IIB fibres) by high resolution anion-exchange chromatography of the myosin head region, subfragment-1. At ...

Complexity of myosin species in the avian posterior latissimus dorsi muscle
The myosin content of the avian posterior latissimus dorsi muscle, a small fast-twitch muscle similar in fibre type to the much-studied pectoralis major muscle (type IIB), has been explored using high resoluti...

Developmental study of rat brain glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase
Glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase activities were measured in whole rat brains at selected ages from birth to adulthood. On a wet weight basis glutathione peroxidase activity increased 70% durin...
