This study describes a simplified histochemical technique for the simultaneous determination of three skeletal muscle fiber types from a single section.
This study describes a simplified histochemical technique for the simultaneous determination of three skeletal muscle fiber types from a single section.
Tunell et al. (1977) studied this question. Glycine-formaldehyde-calcium preincubation was evaluated on Differentiation of type I, type IIA, and IIB fibers. A simplified histochemical technique using glycine-formaldehyde-calcium preincubation clearly differentiates type I, type IIA, and IIB skeletal muscle fibers in human, rat, rabbit, and porcine muscle.
