Skeletal muscle composition in various breeds of domestic dogs: (A comparative study)
… animals, specifically cats and dogs. Skeletal muscle is a vital organ in the regulation of blood glucose. Its composition in terms of muscle fibre type, metabolism and contractility can differ substantially between species, but is poorly studied in the domestic dog, in particular the various …

Expectation of Genetic Alteration of Muscle Composition and Growth Traits in Rainbow Trout (Salmo gairdneri)
… has been concerned with the manip0ulation of muscle protein and fat in muscle tissue for the purpose of catering to human needs (Kielanowski 1972; Dinkel and Busch 1973; Olson et. al. 1976). Though fishes are able to convert food to quality protein more efficiently than most animals, they have …

Inactivity and overfeeding related changes in skeletal muscle composition and metabolism in captive felids - are they at risk of developing metabolic syndrome?
… key risk factors in the development of skeletal muscle insulin-resistance and type II diabetes in human and domestic animal populations. Wild animals are similarly exposed to these risk factors as a result of captivity. This study aimed at describing the skeletal muscle properties of captive …

The effect of early feed restriction on the performance, organ weights, carcass composition, and lipid and protein metabolism in broiler chickens
… organ weights, fat deposition, carcass and muscle composition, plasma lipids, lipogenesis, lipolysis, and muscle tissue DNA and RNA in broiler chickens. In Experiments 1 and 2, broiler chicks were reared in litter pens for 49 days, while Experiments 3,4, and 5 were conducted in battery cages …

Controlled microbiological and environmental techniques in meat processing
… of surface bacteria on conventionally handled muscle tissue via a hot water dip, followed by processing at 28ºC in a sterile plastic isolator where Pediococcus cerevisiae was introduced into the curing solution. This treatment was compared to Reduced Initial Count and Conventional samples. …

Effects of beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) supplementation on gluteus medius muscle fiber composition and muscle performance in adult Thoroughbred horses exercising to fatigue on a high-speed treadmill
… (HBM), a leucine metabolite, alters muscle composition and metabolism leading to strength and agility improvements in human athletes. To determine if HMB affects athletic performance and muscle function in horses, Thoroughbred geldings were fed a control (CON; n=5) or HMB (n=6) …

Determining the Usefulness of Aerobic and Anaerobic Enzyme Assays as Proxies for Rockfish Ecological Data.
… kinase (PK), and citrate synthase (CS). Some muscle composition data (percent water, percent protein, percent lipid, and protein as a percentage of wet mass) were also used to help interpret the enzyme data. Enzyme activity was lowest in the summer when expressed as activity per gram wet …

Impedance Changes in Biceps Brachii Due to Isometric Contractions and Muscle Fatigue Using Electrical Impedance Myography (EIM)
… electrical current imbedded over a localized muscle to determine its opposition to current flow. In brevity, impedance determines the resistance of muscle fibers due to changes in muscle composition. The objective of this thesis was to establish a relationship between muscles at rest and …

Analysis of volatile compounds, proximate composition, and fatty acids in Pacific bluefin tuna (Thunnus orientalis)
… to create meat alternative versions of PBT. The muscle composition of PBT varies, leading to different types (cuts) of meat in a way that is analogous to various cuts of beef. This study evaluated the differentiation amongst the 6 distinct cuts, including otoro, ventral akami, dorsal akami, …

Influence of dietary amino acid adequacy on performance and muscle protein turnover in poults
… studies were designed to investigate changes in muscle composition and protein turnover in response to essential (EAA) and nonessential amino acid (NEAA) supplementation of the low protein diet. Developmental changes in muscle metabolism as well as differences between muscles were also examined. …

Performance of Nile Tilapia and Yellow Perch Fed Diets Containing Distillers Dried Grain with Solubles and Extruded Diet Characteristics
… affecting growth, feeding efficiency, and muscle composition. In conclusion, these studies demonstrate that inclusion of DDGS within the diets of aquacultured species is viable and may help to offset dietary costs. However, varying results between species, along with moderately lower growth …

Evaluation of Tissue Health and Interventions for the Prevention of Pressure Ulcers in Persons with Spinal Cord Injury
… with spinal cord injury (SCI) have atrophied muscle, leading to increased risk of developing pressure ulcers (PU). Even so, some persons with SCI are more susceptible to PUs. The thesis presents several measurements of tissue health to better understand individual differences.The gluteus …
