title: Cellular marker of myofiber activity for ankle flexor and extensor under conditions of rat hindlimb suspension.
abstract: We supposed that the triglyceride content might be used as a cellular marker of muscle fiber activity and for the first time analyzed the triglyceride content in the fast- and slow-twitch muscle fibers of m. soleus and m. tibialis anterior under conditions of 7-day rat hindlimb suspension. Although the hindlimb suspension led to decrease of triglyceride content in the fast-twitch fibers of m. soleus and slow-twitch fibers of m. tibialis anterior, these differences were not significant. In spite of this the obtained data do not contradict our initial hypothesis.
