Effect of chronic AICAR treatment on muscle fiber composition and enzyme activity in skeletal muscle of rats

Muscle fiber is the basic unit of skeletal muscle. Muscle fiber types play a crucial role in improving meat quality. In the current study, Wistar rats were chronic injected with 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-β-D-ribofuranoside (AICAR) for four weeks in order to define the 5′-AMP-activated protein...
