TL;DR: The muscle fibre composition, fibre areas and enzyme activities were determined in muscle biopsy samples from both legs of 34 clinically healthy men and 31 clinically healthy women and found to be similar at different ages in both men and women, but changes in fibre areas were observed.

TL;DR: The relationship between the histochemical and biochemical properties of muscle and the quality of meat during selection to improving the lean tissue growth rate was studied and pigs became fatter on both diets.

TL;DR: The results indicate that IMF and TG content in muscle fibres may be related to shear force and lipids are stored mainly in type I fibres and in some type IIA fibres.

TL;DR: The results indicate that fibres of types I, II A and II B in human skeletal muscle all possess great adaptability with regard to their oxidative capacity and suggest that extensive endurance training may enhance the glycolytic capacity in both type I and type II fibres.

TL;DR: (1)H-MRS will be suitable to replace invasive techniques for IMCL determination, whenever noninvasiveness is crucial, e.g., for repeated investigations in studies of substrate recruitment and recovery in exercise.
