UCP3 promotes slow-to-fast myofiber type transformation. Transfection of siUCP3 into porcine myotubes knocked down UCP3 expression in protein (A) levels, which led to slow-twitch myofiber formation (B) as determined by immunoblotting. (C) MyHC isoforms and oxidative fiber markers in porcine myotubes transfected with siUCP3 were determined by RT-PCR. (D) The activities of metabolic-related enzymes in porcine myotubes transfected with siUCP3. Results are exhibited as mean ± S.E.M. (n = 4, four independent experiments). * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01 when contrasted with the control.
