Key result
The degree of vector regionalisation of type I fibres in homologous lower hindlimb muscles differed significantly among species (mouse > rat > rabbit), suggesting adaptation to functional needs.

Species differences suggest functional muscle adaptations; leaves open translation to human physiology or clinical relevance.
Observational
Wang et al. (2001) reported an observational. Animal species (rabbit, rat, mouse) vs. Between species was evaluated on Topographical distribution of different fibre types in muscles of the lower hindlimb. The degree of vector regionalisation of type I fibres in homologous lower hindlimb muscles differed significantly among species (mouse > rat > rabbit), suggesting adaptation to functional needs.
