Description
Cheng Jia and co-authors report research from two thousand twenty-six on how muscle fiber types change as meat rabbits grow. Fiber mix shapes both growth and meat quality in farm animals. Slow fibers burn fuel with oxygen, while fast fibers rely more on sugar, and the balance shifts after birth.
The team combined gene activity and protein measures in a leg muscle at three ages, from newborn to seventy days. Staining showed slow fibers rising with age, and enzyme tests confirmed a shift toward oxygen-based metabolism. They list ten candidate genes and nine key proteins tied to the change. Pathway analysis linked them to sugar and energy routes. The findings give a multi-layer view of rabbit muscle growth.
