“…Myosin ATPase activity of the FG myofibers has been reported to be affected more highly by acid preincubation than that of the FOG myofibers in tree shrews (12). To the contrary, in Japanese macaques the ATPase reaction of FOG myofibers were affected more highly by acid preincubation than that of the FG myofibers.…”

Leg muscles of Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) were examined to characterize histochemical properties of myofiber types. Myofiber types were classified by differences in reactivity for myosin ATPase, NADH tetrazolium reductase (NADH-TR), and menadione-linked glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (3-GPD). The myofibers that reacted strongly for acid-stable myosin ATPase and were weakly reactive or unreactive for alkali-stable myosin ATPase were classified as slow-twitch/oxidative (SO) myofibers, which reacted strongly for NADH-TR and weakly to moderately for 3-GPD. The myofibers that were unreactive to moderately reactive for acid-stable myosin ATPase and strongly reactive for alkali-stable myosin ATPase were classified into fast-twitch/oxidative/glycolytic (FOG) myofibers with a moderate to strong activity for NADH-TR and 3-GPD and into fast-twitch/glycolytic (FG) myofibers with a weak NADH-TR activity and a strong 3-GPD activity.Slow-twitch myofibers with a strong activity for NADH-TR and 3-GPD were characterized as slow-twitch/oxidative/glycolytic (SOG) myofibers. The presence or absence of the SOG myofibers depended on the individuals.The soleus muscle had larger percentages of SO myofibers than of FOG and FG myofibers. The gastrocnemius and flexor digitorum superficialis muscles generally had larger percentages of FG myofibers than of FOG and SO myofibers including SOG myofibers.In mammals, myofibers of skeletal muscles are classified into three types (I, IIA, and IIB) by differences in reactivity for acid-stable myosin ATPase as shown by Brooke and Kaiser (3). Type I myofibers show a strong reaction for myosin ATPase after preincubation at pH 4.3-4.5.The myosin ATPase reaction was almost wholly inhibited at pH below pH 4.5 in type IIA myofibers and almost completely inhibited in type JIB myofibers below pH 4.3. The histochemical characteristics of type I myofibers are generally similar to those of the slow-twitch/oxidative (SO) myofibers on the basis of histochemical, biochemical, and physiological profiles as shown by Peter et al. (10). On the other hand, it has been shown that the histochemical characteristics of type IIA and type JIB myofibers do not always correspond to those of the fast-twitch/oxidative/glycolytic (FOG) and the fast-twitch/glycolytic (FG) myofibers, respectively (8,11).In prosimian primates, myofibers have been classified into FG, FOG, and SO myofibers by differences in reactivity for myosin ATPase and dehydrogenases (12).The myofibers have been classified into FG, FOG, and SO myofibers in cynomolgus monkeys (1) or types I, IIA, and JIB myofibers in rhesus monkeys (7) on the basis of reactivity for myosin ATPase and dehydrogenases.The purpose of the present study was to examine histochemical characteristics of myofibers in skeletal muscles of Japanese macaques (Macacafuscata) and to type their myofibers.Also, it was determined whether the myofiber types based on the classification system of Peter et al. (10) were interchangeable with those on the classification system of Brooke and K...

“…For instance, the slow loris and the sloth have muscles formed only by fibres of slow contraction speed, but which are resistant to fatigue (Sickles and Pinkstaff, 1981a;Kimura et al, 1987). In contrast, small species with the ability for fast movement have a high proportion of fibres of fast contraction speed in most of their muscles (Ariano et al, 1973;Sickles and Pinkstaff, 1981a;Jouffroy et al, 2003).…”

Histochemistry profile of the biceps brachii muscle fibres of capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella, Linnaeus, 1758)

A general analysis of the behaviour of "Cebus" shows that when this primate moves position to feed or perform another activity, it presents different ways of locomotion. This information shows that the brachial biceps muscle of this animal is frequently used in their locomotion activities, but it should also be remembered that this muscle is also used for other development activities like hiding, searching for objects, searching out in the woods, and digging in the soil. Considering the above, it was decided to research the histoenzimologic characteristics of the brachial biceps muscle to observe whether it is better adpted to postural or phasic function. To that end, samples were taken from the superficial and deep regions, the inserts proximal (medial and lateral) and distal brachial biceps six capuchin monkeys male and adult, which were subjected to the reactions of m-ATPase, NADH-Tr. Based on the results of these reactions fibres were classified as in Fast Twitch Glycolitic (FG), Fast Twitch Oxidative Glycolitic (FOG) and Slow Twitc (SO). In general, the results, considering the muscle as a whole, show a trend of frequency FOG> FG> SO. The data on the frequency were studied on three superficial regions FOG=FG>SO; the deep regions of the inserts proximal FOG=FG=SO and inserting the distal FOG>FG=SO. In conclusion, the biceps brachii of the capuchin monkey is well adapted for both postural and phasic activities.Keywords: biceps brachii muscle, histoenzimologic, muscle fibre types, capuchin monkeys, primates.Perfil histoquímico das fibras do músculo bíceps braquial do macaco-prego (Cebus apella, Linnaeus, 1758) ResumoUma análise geral do comportamento do "Cebus apella" mostra que este primata quando desloca para se alimentar ou realizar outra atividade apresenta diferentes maneiras de locomoção. Estas informações mostram que o músculo bíceps braquial deste animal é usado freqüentemente nas suas atividades de locomoção, mas deve ser lembrado ainda que este músculo é usado também para desenvolvimento de outras atividades como esconder-se, procurar objetos, vasculhar arboredos, além de cavar o chão. Considerando-se o exposto acima decidiu-se pesquisar as características histoenzimológicas do músculo bíceps braquial do macaco-prego com o objetivo de comparar se este músculo esta melhor adaptado para funções posturais ou fásicas. As amostras foram retiradas das regiões superficiais e profundas; inserções proximais (medial e lateral) e distal de seis macacos-prego machos e adultos, os quais foram submetidos às reações de m-ATPase, NADH-Tr. Baseado nos resultados das reações, as fibras foram classificadas em Fast Twitch Glycolitic (FG), Fast Twitch Oxidative Glycolitic (FOG) e Slow Twitch (SO). Quanto à área dos diferentes tipos de fibras, os resultados encontrados foram semelhantes em todas as amostras estudadas, e as fibras de contração rápida foram sempre maiores do que as de contração lenta (FG=FOG>SO). Os dados obtidos sobre a frequência foram: nas três regiões superficiais estudadas FOG=FG>SO; nas regiõe...

Abstract:The vermiform appendix-like organ (VALO) of the slow loris was investigated for its histology and immunohistochemical characteristics. The VALO has a much thinner wall with flat folded mucosa and shallower crypts than the cecal mucosa, while cellular components and population of the mucosa were similar to those of the cecum. No coalescent lymph nodules were seen in the submucosa. Immunohistochemically 5-HTpositive cells in the crypts and CD3-and CD8-positive lymphocytes in the lymph nodules were shown in the VALO as well as in the cecum. These findings suggest that the VALO is a low-differentiated vermiform appendix of the slow loris. Key words: slow loris, vermiform appendix-like organThe slow loris (Nycticebus coucang) is a prosimian species distributed throughout South-East Asia, and is characterized by unique slow locomotion. To clarify the details of the anatomical and histological features contributing to its locomotion, the locomotive [4,16,17], optical [7] and nervous [8][9][10][11][12] organs have been reported by many researchers. However, little information is available concerning the digestive organs of the slow loris, except for the vermiform appendix-like organ (VALO) at the blind-end of the cecum [18]. It is very interesting that VALO bears an apparent resemblance to the vermiform appendix, which is observed in the old world monkey [15]. The VALO is considered to be useful for understanding the role of the vermiform appendix in primates. The objectives of this study were to establish histological and immunohistochemical characteristics of the VALO of the slow
