Physiologic and histologic features of muscle development in the hamster
Abstract
This study determined to what extent the hind limb muscles of hamsters resemble those of other mammals in undergoing changes in physiologic, morphologic, and histochemical properties as a function of age. Maximal isometric twitch and tetanic responses were evoked in soleus and plantaris muscles of hamsters aged 13 days to 6 months; all experiments were conducted in vivo under sodium pentobarbital anesthesia. In keeping with findings in the cat …
