"RED" SKELETAL MUSCLE FIBERS: RELATIVE INDEPENDENCE OF NEURAL CONTROL.

Studies on skeletal muscle of rats and mice indicate significant differences between the behaviors of the two basic types of muscle fibers during the development of denervation atrophy. While the diameter of fibers possessing sarcoplasmic granularity ("red" fibers) is preserved for a long time after complete severance of motor and sensory nerves, fiber with agranular cytoplasm ("white" fibers) undergo rapid atrophy. It is concluded that, at least in this respect, the "white" fibers are more dependent on neural control than are the "red" fibers.

SKELETAL MUSCLE DISEASES: RECENT ADVANCES AND SOME RELATED BASIC PROBLEMS.

Recent advances in the knowledge of the structure and function of voluntary muscle and some of its diseases are reviewed on the basis of a recently published international symposium. Among the subjects discussed are: the specific metabolic role of various muscle cell constituents (e.g. sarcosomes, microsomes, sarcoplasmic reticulum); the relaxing factor system and the dual (tonic and phasic) innervation of muscle fibres; observations on the physiology of muscle training; the morphologic differential diagnosis of degenerative skeletal muscle diseases; the value of serum enzyme determinations in the early detection of muscular dystrophy and in the identification of dystrophic carriers; the classification and diagnosis of muscular hypotonias of infancy; the role of inactivity and the trophic control of the nervous system in the development of neural (or denervation) atrophies; factors influencing regeneration of muscle fibres; the significance, as a research tool, of the identification of hereditary primary muscle disease in laboratory animals.
