[email protected] (K.M.) Abstract: Skeletal muscle is a heterogeneous tissue consisting of blood vessels, connective tissue, and muscle fibers. The last are highly adaptive and can change their molecular composition depending on external and internal factors, such as exercise, age, and disease. Thus, examination of the skeletal muscles at the fiber type level is essential to detect potential alterations. Therefore, we established a protocol in which myosin heavy chain isoform immunolabeled muscle fibers were laser Citation: Eggers, B.; Schork, K.; microdissected and separately investigated by mass spectrometry to develop advanced proteomic Turewicz, M.; Barkovits, K.; profiles of all murine skeletal muscle fiber types.
