Abstract
HISTOCHEMISTRY has contributed much to the problem of “red” and “white” muscles and the fibre composition of the two types of muscle. Stains for oxidative enzymes have given results which cause opinions to differ with regard to the number of fibre types in normal muscles of the adult vertebrate. Two types of fibres were described by Nachmias and Padykula1 and Dubowitz and Pearse2, but Stain and Padykula3 and Ogata and Mori4 presented evidence for the existence of three distinct fibre types, one small heavily stained, one large sparsely stained and one intermediate type. Later, Wirsén and Larsson5 suggested that the three fibre types develop as three distinct populations.
