Capillary Indices in the Neuromuscular Compartments of the Pig Biceps Femoris Muscle
Journal Title: Journal of Animal Production Advances - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 7
Abstract
In each NMC (BR1. BR2. BR3. BR4) the following parameters were determined: CD. FD. CFR and CID by using an endothelial specific lectin. There were significant differences in the following: CD (BR3 > BR1). CFR (BR1< BR3=BR4). CID (BR2>BR3). There were no significant differences for FD among the NMCs. The relationship between meat quality and muscle characteristics needs a good understanding of muscle biology; therefore the study of the compartments of muscle is necessary to unify the sampling of muscle. The CID could result a useful tool as a preliminary alternative for determining the heterogeneity of muscle architecture.
