Table 2.

Area, diameter, and the number of muscle fibers (types I and II) in the longissimus lumborum (LL) and semitendinosus (ST) muscles of Aceh cows.

Variable Muscle type p value
LL (mean ± SD) (n = 378) ST (mean ± SD) (n = 351)
Area (μm2) 3 409.66 ± 1 072.27a 3 566.70 ± 1 077.20b 0.029
Diameter (μm) 45.58 ± 7.95a 46.80 ± 7.07a 0.067
Muscle fiber (%)
 Type I 17.63 ± 13.96a 8.20 ± 3.20a 0.236
 Type II 82.37 ± 13.96a 91.80 ± 3.20a 0.236

n: the number of muscle fibers measured; SD: standard deviation. Means in the same row with different superscripts differ significantly (p < 0.05). Calculation of the number of types of muscle fibers is carried out in one field of view for each muscle sample.
