Figure 1

PAS and ATPase staining of M. longissimus ((a) and (c)) and M. gastrocnemius (b). The PAS staining of M. longissimus shows capillaries marked by arrows (a). In ATPase staining, type I fibres are enclosed in red, IIa fibres in black, and IIb fibres in orange in M. gastrocnemius, whereas example fibres are marked by black arrows (b); in M. longissimus, type I fibres are marked by a red arrow (surrounded by a red shape), type IIa fibres with a black arrow (surrounded by a black shape), and IIb fibres with a yellow arrow (surrounded by a yellow shape) (c) (100x magnification).
