Abstract
The present study is part of a project which aimed to examine the influence of intramuscular fat (IMF) content on sensory attributes and consumer acceptability of pork. Two experiments were conducted to evaluate consumer acceptability of pork chops with varying IMF level in muscle Longissimus lumborum (LL). Each experiment used 32 castrated male pigs selected after slaughter either from 125 Duroc × Landrace (Experiment 1) or 102 Tia Meslan × Landrace (Experiment 2) crossbred animals, and showing large variability in LL IMF content: from <1.5 to >3.5% in Experiment 1 and from 1.25 to 3.25% in Experiment 2. A group of 56 consumers evaluated various items on rib-eye (LL muscle trimmed of backfat) (Experiment 1) and on entire chops trimmed of backfat (Experiment 2). Data from Experiment 1 indicate that an increase in IMF level is associated with an increase in visual perception of fat and a corresponding decrease in the willingness to eat and purchase the meat, when expressed before tasting. The latter effect disappeared after the consumers had tasted the meat, probably due to a positive effect of increase IMF, up to 3.5%, on the perception of texture and taste. In Experiment 2, where entire chops were evaluated, the perception of visible fat was not affected by IMF level, probably due to the lack of variation in the level of intermuscular fat between the four IMF groups. The willingness to eat and purchase the meat were unaffected by IMF level, whereas the perception of texture and taste was enhanced with increased IMF levels up to 3.25%. The present data suggest that the acceptability of pork may be improved by increasing IMF level but: (1) this effect disappeared for IMF levels higher than 3.5%, which are associated with a high risk of meat rejection due to visible fat and (2) the positive effect of increased IMF probably holds true as long as it is not associated with an increase in the level of intermuscular fat.

Abstract
Glycolytic potential and activities of myofibrillar ATPase, lactate dehydrogenase, citrate synthase, glycogen synthetases and glycogen phosphorylases were measured in five muscles from five Large White, eight Pietrain, seven Belgian Landrace and eight Penshire pigs (Penshire is a composite line including 50% Hampshire, 35% Duroc and 15% Large White blood). Additionally, ultimate pH was measured on the loin and four ham muscles. Muscles could be classified as follows on the basis of enzyme activities: Longissimus dorsi and Semimembranosus as 'fast white', Rectus abdominis as 'intermediate'. Trapezius and Masseter as 'slow red'. Small breed differences were observed in enzyme activities except for citrate synthase activity and degree of activation of glycogen phosphorylase in the 'fast white' muscles. Large Whites, Pietrains and Belgian Landraces did not differ in glycolytic potential whatever the muscle involved. Compared with these three breeds, Penshires had much higher glycolytic potential values in the 'fast white' muscles (+51 to 75%) and in the 'intermediate' muscle (+29 to 56%). However, in the 'slow red' muscles, there was almost no difference in this trait between the four breeds. The Penshire pigs showed lower ultimate pH than the pigs from the other breeds in three of the four ham muscles studied. It is concluded that muscle metabolic type must be considered when assessing breed variation in glycolytic potential, and that the high muscle glycolytic potential characterizing the Hampshire could be inherited as a dominant trait in Hampshire crosses.

Abstract
A three-step experimental design has been carried out to add evidence about the existence of the RN gene, with two segregating alleles RN- and rn+, having major effects on meat quality in pigs, to estimate its effects on production traits and to map the RN locus. In the present article, the experimental population and sampling procedures are described and discussed, and effects of the three RN genotypes on growth and carcass traits are presented. The RN genotype had no major effect on growth performance and killing out percentage. Variables pertaining to carcass tissue composition showed that the RN- allele is associated with leaner carcasses (about 1 s.d. effect without dominance for back fat thickness, 0.5 s.d. effect with dominance for weights of joints). Muscle glycolytic potential (GP) was considerably higher in RN- carriers, with a maximum of a 6.85 s.d. effect for the live longissimus muscle GP. Physico-chemical characteristics of meat were also influenced by the RN genotype in a dominant way, ultimate pH differing by about 2 s.d. between homozygous genotypes and meat colour by about 1 s.d. Technological quality was also affected, with a 1 s.d. decrease in technological yield for RN- carriers. The RN genotype had a more limited effect on eating quality. On the whole, the identity between the acid meat condition and the RN- allele effect is clearly demonstrated (higher muscle GP, lower ultimate pH, paler meat and lower protein content), and the unfavourable relationship between GP and carcass lean to fat ratio is confirmed.

Abstract
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of the RN genotype on skeletal muscle characteristics in pigs sharing otherwise the same polygenic background. Animals were genotyped for RN on the basis of RTN (Rendement Technologique Napole) records using segregation analysis methods. Samples of longissimus (L) and semispinalis capitis (S) muscles were taken from 39 rn+/rn+, 38 RN-/rn+ and 37 RN-/RN- pigs slaughtered at 108 +/- 8.6 kg live weight. Activities of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), citrate synthase (CS), and beta-hydroxy-acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase (HAD) were measured on both muscles to assess glycolytic, oxidative, and lipid beta-oxidation capacities, respectively. Histological examinations and chemical analyses were performed on L muscle. The energetic metabolism of the white L muscle was more oxidative in RN-/RN- than in rn+/rn+ pigs, as shown by increased CS and HAD activities (P < .001), decreased LDH activity (P < .001), larger cross-sectional area of IIA (P < .05) and IIB-red (P < .05) fibers, higher relative area of IIA fibers ( P < .05), and lower relative area of IIB-white fibers (P < .001). No significant difference was found between heterozygous and homozygous carriers of the RN- allele, except for CS activity, which was lower in RN-/rn+ than in RN-/RN- pigs. In L muscle, the RN- allele led to a large increase in glycolytic potential (+3.5 phenotypic SD between homozygotes) and lightness (+.7 SD), and a decrease in ultimate pH, dry matter, and protein contents (-1.7 to -2 phenotypic SD for these three traits), with an almost completely dominant effect. No differences were found between genotypes for intramuscular fat and hydroxyproline contents. In the red S muscle, the presence of RN- had no influence on enzyme activities. These results indicate that the RN genotype greatly influences compositional and histochemical traits and metabolic enzyme activities in a muscle type-dependent manner, with a completely or incompletely dominant effect of the RN- allele.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of the halothane (HAL) genotype, slaughter weight (SW), and the HAL x SW interaction on compositional and textural traits of raw and cooked pork. Pigs were bred to exhibit one of the three HAL genotypes (NN, Nn, and nn) with otherwise equivalent genomes. The nn halothane reactors are known to typically produce PSE pork, whereas NN pigs do not typically produce PSE pork. Pietrain x Large White gilts and boars, all with verified Nn genotype (by DNA test), were mated to obtain F2 littermates of the three HAL genotypes. These pigs were slaughtered at either 101 +/- 3 ("light") or 127 +/- 3 ("heavy") kg BW and were evaluated for longissimus muscle traits. The pH at .5 h after death (pH1) was 6.35, 6.13, and 5.68 in NN, Nn, and nn pigs, respectively. Sarcomere length was greater in nn than in NN and Nn pigs (1.94 vs 1.83 and 1.85 microm, respectively). Mechanical resistance was higher in nn than in NN pigs for both raw and cooked meat. Meat from nn pigs was judged by a trained panel to be less rough, more cohesive, harder, more fibrous, less granular, more elastic, and less easy to swallow than meat from NN pigs. For most traits under study, the heterozygotes were intermediate between the homozygotes but closer to NN than to nn pigs. Muscle from heavy pigs had longer sarcomeres and less moisture than muscle from light pigs. The n allele of the HAL gene unfavorably affects pork texture, and this effect is maintained throughout the range of 101 to 127 kg BW.

Abstract
A total of 383 barrows and gilts from a French Large White experimental herd were slaughtered at 100 kg BW. Samples of longissimus muscle were taken to categorize myofibers according to their contractile (I, IIA, and IIB) and metabolic (oxidative and nonoxidative) properties. Myofiber percentages, cross-sectional areas (CSA), and relative areas were measured. Growth rate, carcass composition, muscle chemical composition, metabolic enzyme activities, and meat quality traits were also measured to estimate phenotypic and genetic correlations between these traits and myofiber characteristics. Genetic parameters were estimated using a REML procedure applied to an individual animal model. Heritabilities of fiber traits were moderate to high (h2 = .20 to .59). Highest heritabilities were found for type I fiber percentage (h2 = .46 +/- .11), type IIBw fiber percentage (h2 = .58 +/- .11), and type I fiber cross-sectional area (h2 = .59 +/- .10). For a given fiber type, the relative area was phenotypically and genetically more closely related to the percentage than to the CSA. Phenotypic correlations between fiber type composition and other traits were low. Genetically, growth rate, carcass leanness, and loin eye area were positively related to fiber CSA. Intramuscular fat content was not related to fiber type composition (r(g) = -.05 to .06), whereas it was positively related to fiber CSA (r(g) = .68). Type IIBw fiber percentage was related to pH at 30 min (r(g) = -.46), pH at 24 h (r(g) = -.62), glycolytic potential (r(g) = .31), and lightness of color (r(g) = .55) of longissimus muscle.

Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze metabolic changes associated with a fulminant malignant hyperthermia (MH) crisis developed spontaneously in an MH susceptible pig which was part of 12 pigs undergoing metabolic investigation (six MH susceptible and six controls) and had been anaesthetized with a non-triggering agent (pentobarbitone). METHODS The pig was placed in a cradle and then inserted into a 4.7 T magnet bore. The semi-membranous muscle was submitted to three repetitive stimulation-recovery sessions. 31-P magnetic resonance spectra and mechanical data were recorded. RESULTS The pig developed a non-rigid MH crisis during recovery from the second set of experiments. Although no mechanical work was performed, dramatic metabolic changes were noted. Twitch tension decreased progressively reaching zero while mouth temperature continuously increased to 44.5 degrees C. Phosphocreatine (PCr) consumption was coupled to Pi accumulation. Also, a marked intracellular acidosis and a large accumulation of phosphomonoesters (PME) were observed, probably as a result of massive glycolysis activation. Interestingly, ATP level remained constant. CONCLUSION These irreversible mechanisms may constitute a metabolic dead-end coupling calcium pumping ATP-consuming processes and ATP synthesis through PCr breakdown and anaerobic glycolysis. They do not differ from metabolic changes previously reported in rigid forms of MH crisis.

Abstract
High glycogen content and abnormal mitochondria have been seen in muscles from RN- carrier pigs in a previous work. Glycogen synthase, branching enzyme, phosphorylase and debranching enzyme activities, and mitochondrial characteristics were studied in normal and RN- carrier pigs. Branching enzyme activity was higher (P < 0.01) and glycogen synthase activity tended to be higher in longissimus dorsi muscle from RN- carrier pigs compared to normal pigs. There were no differences in the activities of either phosphorylase and debranching enzyme between both types of pigs. Citrate synthase activity and mitochondrial respiration were slightly higher in muscle from RN- pigs compared to normal pigs. Glycogen content in muscle from RN- pigs could result from the imbalance between anabolic and catabolic enzyme activities of glycogen metabolism. The higher specific activity in mitochondria of RN- pigs muscle might be the compensatory effect of an abnormal glycolytic metabolism.

Abstract
Of a total of three Friesian cows, two of which had been treated with adrenalin before slaughter, Mm longissimus (LO), supraspinatus (SS), triceps brachii (TB) and rectus abdominis (RA) were sampled at different times post mortem (pm). pH, calpain/calpastatin activities and degradation of myofibrillar proteins, as evidenced by SDS-PAGE, were assessed. Contraction characteristics were measured by determining myofibrillar ATPase activities. Adrenalin treatment resulted in a high ultimate pH (6.48 +/- 0.40) and a faster decline pm of calpain I activity. The effect was similar in all four investigated muscles (72.4 +/- 5.4% decline at 24 h pm). The decline in calpain I activity in the control muscles was muscle-dependent and ranged from 22.8-74.3% at 24 h pm. Differences in ultimate pH did not lead to distinct rates of breakdown of proteins with molecular weights lower than that of myosin heavy chain. Calpastatin levels were muscle-dependent and correlated with myofibrillar ATPase activity (r = -0.99). In a second experiment Mm rectus abdominis (RA) and psoas major (PM) of adrenalin-treated (n = 6) and control (n = 6) Friesian-Holstein calves were sampled at 1 and 29 h pm for assessment of calpain activities. At seven days pm the M longissimus (LO) was sampled for tenderness evaluation. pH values were measured at 30 min, 4 h and 29 h pm. Adrenalin treatment resulted in a higher ultimate pH in the three muscles. Higher ultimate pH resulted in lower calpain activities in the RA at 29 h pm (P less than or equal to 0.025).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Myofibrillar ATPase activity (in the presence of Ca2+ and Mg2+), activities of various glycolytic and mitochondrial enzymes, and haemin iron, glycogen, ATP and lactic acid levels were determined in the heart and five skeletal muscles of the sheep as a function of age and sex. During growth from 2 to 13 months, ATPase activity remained stable whereas most mitochondrial and glycolytic activities tended to decrease, particularly between 2 and 6 months. The isoenzyme composition of lactic dehydrogenase evolved markedly, with in particular a rise in the percentage of M4. Haemin iron level rose from 6 months. These modifications occurred in most of the skeletal muscles but rarely in the heart. Glycogen and ATP decreased progressively between 2 and 13 months. Overall, results indicated a regression of the metabolic differentiation among muscles between 2 and 13 months, particularly marked before 6 months. At 3 and 7 months, sex had practically no influence on the enzyme activities studied.

Abstract
Lactate dehydrogenase activity and isoenzyme distribution were measured in fast-twitch red, slow-twitch red and fast-twitch white muscles in the sheep. Total enzyme activity is higher in fast-twitch muscles irrespective of their colour type. Isoenzymes M4 and H4 bear an inverse relationship, M4 being predominant in fast-twitch red and white muscles, and H4 in heart muscle and slow-twitch red muscles.

Abstract
The metabolic characteristics of 12 skeletal muscles of the sheep were studied. Glycolytic activities (hexokinase, glycogen synthetase I and D, phosphorylase a and b, phosphofructokinase) were measured. Myofibrillar ATPase activity was evaluated. Oxygen consumption, respiratory control and carnitine palmityl transferase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase and cytochrome oxidase activities were measured in isolated mitochondria. Three metabolic types could be distinguished; (1) essentially oxidative slow twitch muscles, typified by the supraspinatus and infraspinatus, having low ATPase activity, (2) fast twitch red muscles, typified by the longissimus dorsi and the semimembranosus, having a higher ATPase activity and both high oxidative and high glycolytic activity, and (3) essentially glycolytic fast twitch muscles, typified by the tensor fascia lata and the semitendinosus, having the highest ATPase activity.
