Phenotypic differences between longissimus dorsi muscle (LDM) and psoas major muscle (PMM).

(a) The color of fresh samples of LDM and PMM. (b) ATPase staining of slow-twitch Type I MHCs (dark color) and fast-twitch Type II (light color) for LDM and PMM cross-sections. (c) Differences in the myofiber rate (Fast/slow) between LDM and PMM. (d) The mean myofiber cross-sectional area of LDM and PMM. (e) Mitochondrial DNA copy number per cell in LDM and PMM. MtDNA: Mitochondrial DNA. (f) The composition of fatty acids in PMM and LDM. SFA, MUMUFA and PUFA represent saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acid, respectively. Data are means ± SD. Statistical significance was calculated by Student’s t-test (n = 3 per individual). *** denotes significant differences at P < 0.001.
