Fiber type distribution and mean fiber area were determined for seven sites in diaphragm muscles of premature (140 days gestation), full-term (180 days gestation), and adult baboons. Within a group, data did not differ significantly amongst the seven sites. The diaphragm of premature animals had a large proportion [56(+/- 2)%] of type IIc fibers, smaller proportions of type I, IIo, and IIh fibers [16(+/- 2), 21(+/- 1), and 7(+/- 2)%, respectively], and no type IIg fibers. Full-term animals had fewer type IIc [2(+/- 1)%] fibers, greater proportions of type I [46(+/- 2)%], IIh [23(+/- 1)%], and IIg [11(+/- 1)%] fibers, and a similar proportion of type IIo fibers [17(+/- 1)%]. Diaphragm from adult baboons had similar proportions of type IIh, IIg, and IIc fibers in females [39(+/- 4), 20(+/- 2), 1(+/- 1), 41(+/- 5), and 1(+/- 1)%] and males [48(+/- 2), 16 (+/- 1), 0(+/- 0), 36(+/- 2), and 3(+/- 2)%]. Fiber area for premature [143(+/- 9), 210(+/- 15), 231(+/- 15), and 156(+/- 16) microns2 for type I, IIo, IIh, and IIc fibers], newborn [317(+/- 32), 374(+/- 36), 468(+/- 42), 498(+/- 43), and 322(+/- 37) microns2 for type I, IIo, IIh, IIg, and IIc fibers], and for type I, IIo, IIg, and IIc fibers from adult female [1,759(+/- 130), 2,365(+/- 284), 5,026(+/- 742), and 1,843(+/- 111) microns2] and adult male [2,513(+/- 221), 3,987(+/- 267), 6,102(+/- 376), and 2,833(+/- 151) microns2] baboons indicated growth which correlated with body weight. Our results also show that metabolic and contractile enzymes develop normally, but growth of respiratory muscle fibers is arrested, during 10 days following premature birth.

D005260 Female Females
D005865 Gestational Age The age of the conceptus, beginning from the time of FERTILIZATION. In clinical obstetrics, the gestational age is often estimated from the onset of the last MENSTRUATION which is about 2 weeks before OVULATION and fertilization. It is also estimated to begin from fertilization, estrus, coitus, or artificial insemination.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
