| dc.description.abstract | <i>Background</i>: Mitochondria are considered the powerhouse of cells, and skeletal muscle cells are no exception. However, information regarding muscle mitochondria from different species is limited. <i>Methods</i>: Different muscles from cattle, pigs and chickens were analyzed for mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), protein and oxygen consumption. <i>Results</i>: Bovine oxidative muscle mitochondria contain greater mtDNA (<i>p</i> < 0.05), protein (succinate dehydrogenase, SDHA, <i>p</i> < 0.01; citrate synthase, CS, <i>p</i> < 0.01; complex I, CI, <i>p</i> < 0.05), and oxygen consumption (<i>p</i> < 0.01) than their glycolytic counterpart. Likewise, porcine oxidative muscle contains greater mtDNA (<i>p</i> < 0.01), mitochondrial proteins (SDHA, <i>p</i> < 0.05; CS, <i>p</i> < 0.001; CI, <i>p</i> < 0.01) and oxidative phosphorylation capacity (OXPHOS, <i>p</i> < 0.05) in comparison to glycolytic muscle. However, avian oxidative skeletal muscle showed no differences in absolute mtDNA, SDHA, CI, complex II, lactate dehydrogenase, or glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate dehydrogenase compared to their glycolytic counterpart. Even so, avian mitochondria isolated from oxidative muscles had greater OXPHOS capacity (<i>p</i> < 0.05) than glycolytic muscle. <i>Conclusions</i>: These data show avian mitochondria function is independent of absolute mtDNA content and protein abundance, and argue that multiple levels of inquiry are warranted to determine the wholistic role of mitochondria in skeletal muscle. | en |
