Changes of myoglobin content in porcine skeletal muscle at different stages of growth. (A, B) Total myoglobin content in longissimus dorsi and triceps muscles, respectively. (C, D) Proportion of oxymyoglobin in longissimus dorsi and triceps muscles, respectively. (E) Proportion of metmyoglobin and deoxymyoglobin in longissimus dorsi. (F) Proportion of metmyoglobin and deoxymyoglobin in triceps muscles. Mean with different superscripts demonstrate significant difference among groups (p<0.05), n = 6.
