Comparison of subsarcolemmal and intermyofibrillar mitochondrial density, expressed as intensity of fluorescence, between type I and type IIA fibers before training (untrained) and after 8 weeks of harness training (trained).
Untrained | Trained | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Fiber type | Subsarcolemmal region | Intermyofibrillar region | Subsarcolemmal region | Intermyofibrillar region |
Type I | 59.91 (10.27–109.39) | 39.48 (7.01–86.26) | 54.33 (42.50–75.88) | 36.48 (21.96–59.42) |
Type IIA | 41.67 (7.67–49.14)* | 22.49 (3.81–31.13)* | 33.24 (25.05–54.95)* | 18.41 (12.47–39.44)* |
Significantly different from type I, p < 0.01.
Results are given as median (minimum–maximum).
