Fig. 6. Single fibre analysis in bovine masseter. (A) Distribution of maximum shortening velocity (v0) values of 35 fibres isolated from masseter and studied for their mechanical properties and their MHC isoform composition. Each dot corresponds to a single fibre: first column shows all fibres together; second column shows fibres expressing only MHC-ß/slow; third column shows fibres also expressing MHC-{alpha}. (B) Examples of electrophoretic separation of MHC isoforms in bovine masseter fibres: S-F, single fibre; V, ventricular myocardium (expressing MHC-ß); A, atrial myocardium (expressing mainly MHC-{alpha}).
