Abstract
After cold acclimation of rats the augmentation of succinic dehydrogenase activity in the fast-twitch oxidative glycolytic (FOG) and the slow-twitch oxidative (SO) fibers was observed in entire regions of the soleus, the extensor digitorum longus, the plantaris, the longissimus and the gastrocnemius muscles.Furthermore, a tendency to increased proportion of the FOG and the SO fibers was observed more prominently in superficial regions than in deep regions of a large muscle such as the gastrocnemius muscle.
