Striated skeletal muscle has been considered radioresistant because it is highly differentiated and post-mitotic. Striated muscle does, however, respond to irradiation with morphological and biochemical changes after short and long latency periods; vascular and/or neurological impairments might contribute to the delayed responses to irradiation.The objective of the present study was to determine the susceptibility of three amphibian muscle fiber types to Co60 irradiation. In amphibians, the three major fiber types are 1) large twitch fibers, which contain low levels of mitochondrial enzymes and lipids, but intermediate levels of glycogen; 2) small twitch fibers, which contain high levels of both glycolytic and mitochondrial enzymes (FIG. 1); and tonic fibers, which contain low levels of all three histochemical markers. Thus, the determination of susceptibility of different amphibian fiber types to irradiation might indicate whether the metabolic characteristics of the fibers, rather than morphological or electrical properties, could serve as an early indicator of radiation damage.

This study was conducted to determine muscle fiber characteristics and their effect on some meat quality parameters in Longissimus dorsi (LD) and Semitendinosus (ST) muscles from kids of some Turkish native goat breeds. Male kids of Hair (n=6), Angora (n=6), Kilis (n=6) and Honamli (n=6) (pure breeds) were used as experimental animals. All kids were slaughtered at 3 months of weaning age and muscles samples were collected for determination of type I, IIA and IIB muscle fibers and some meat quality parameters. It was found that type IIA fiber number of Hair and Honamli kids were higher than those of other breeds in LD muscle. Similarly, Hair kids had higher number of (P less than 0.05) type IIA in ST muscle compared to other breeds. Generally, there were negative correlations between tenderness, pH and number of muscle fiber types in LD and ST muscles of all breeds (P less than0.05). Also, there were positive correlations between intra muscular fat and number of muscle fiber types in LD muscles of all breeds (P less than 0.05). Conclusively, kids of Turkish native goat breeds had different muscle fiber characteristics which can affect meat quality.
