Abstract
THE recent demonstration by Sréter et al.1 that long-term stimulation of rabbit fast-twitch muscle induces the production, within the muscle, of myosin light chains characteristic of slow-twitch muscle has encouraged us to publish some of our own preliminary observations on the effects of long-term stimulation in the cat.
