Muscle fiber transdifferentiation in an experimental model of respiratory chain myopathy

ABSTRACT: Skeletal muscle fiber composition and muscle energetics are not static and change in muscle disease. This study was performed to determine if a mitochondrial myopathy is associated with adjustments in skelatal fiber type composition. These effects of drug induced mitochondrial dysfunction on skeletal muscle fiber type composition were analyzed in an animal model.
