Fibers of the lateral muscle components were oriented towards the medial, and fibers of the medial muscle components were oriented towards the lateral femoral condyle.
However, mature muscle components were extremely downregulated in congenital muscular dystrophies [34].
Thus the diagnosis of mesenchymal proliferation with neural and smooth muscle components was only tentative for the nodules present in the stomach.
The smooth muscle cell component is the most specific to the diagnosis, and characteristically, these lesions stain positive for homatropine methylbromide-45 (HMB-45) and Melan-A [6,7].
In contrast, muscle cultures components are solely "isolated" satellite cells, and therefore could reflect only the basic and maybe more primary cellular defects occurring in HIBM, such as down regulation of many proteins.
In elderly well-trained muscles, the components are depicted distinctly with dark muscle tissue and sharp bright lines of connective tissue, whereas young diseased muscles and elderly untrained muscles are more brightly speckled compared to young healthy muscles and elderly trained muscles [ 9, 10].
Because the diverse disease models used for these microarray experiments (including diabetes, cancer cachexia, chronic renal failure, fasting and denervation) have muscle atrophy in common, the commonly up- or downregulated genes are believed to regulate the loss of muscle components and are called atrophy-related genes or 'atrogenes' (Sacheck et al., 2007).
Individual muscle system components were color-coded with 60 or 35%% opacity by using Adobe Illustrator CS5 (Adobe Systems, San José, CA, USA).
Muscle development and ECM components are clearly upregulated in crossbred piglets, and the results indicate its main role in the differentiation and development of muscular, adipose and connective tissues, and thus on many growth and meat quality parameters.
The most important dynamic component is the adductor pollicis muscle.
