title: Metabolic and contractile properties of rabbit muscles: a statistical approach.
abstract: The metabolic and contractile properties of rabbit muscles representative of the three main muscle types have been studied. A statistical analysis of the results indicates the more discriminant variables for this characterization and shows in particular that the myosin light chains represent a very significant discriminant factor of the muscular type. Results also show that lactate dehydrogenase activity is strongly correlated with the percentage of lactate dehydrogenase M-subunit and with myosin light chains.
