Abstract :

The fast-contracting extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle of 1-month-old rats was denervated and reinnervated by the nerve innervating the slow-contracting soleus muscle. After variable periods of time, the myosin isoform content of the EDL was analyzed by sensitive electrophoretic techniques, which allowed to discriminate between the slow-type I and the three, IIA, (IID or IIX) and IIB, fast-type II myosin isoforms. Compared to the control EDL, which contains predominantly the IIB isoform, the operated muscles contained variable proportions of all the isoforms. Analysis of the results leads us to conclude that reinnervation of EDL induces a sequential transition of myosin isoforms: IIB----(IID or IIX)----IIA----I.
