Neural regulation of muscle phenotype shown in feline model; leaves open translation to human muscle disorders.
Cross-innervation of fast and slow twitch muscles in cats induces partial biochemical transformations in calcium transport and lactic dehydrogenase profiles, demonstrating neural influence on muscle phenotype.
Mommaerts et al. (1969) studied this question.
