Fiber type composition of abdominal muscles in Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata).
نویسنده
چکیده
The muscle fiber composition and cross-sectional area of muscle fiber types were investigated histochemically in the abdominal muscles (rectus abdominis muscle, obliquus externus abdominis muscle, obliquus internus abdominis muscle and transversus abdominis muscle) of three Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata). Muscle fibers were classified into three fiber types (Type I, II A and II B) by myosin ATPase activity and succinate dehydrogenase activity. Each abdominal muscle in Japanese macaques contained high proportion of Type II B fibers and there were no large differences in the fiber type composition between the abdominal muscles. The range of mean fiber type percent was 26-32% Type I, 21-22% Type II A, and 46-52% Type II B fibers. Thus, based on the histochemical fiber type composition, the separate abdominal muscles appear to have a similar functional capacity. The cross-sectional area was larger for Type II than for Type I fibers, and the areas were similar in Type II A and Type II B fibers in each muscle. The rectus abdominis showed larger fibers of each type compared to the lateral abdominal muscles. The high proportion of Type II B fibers and large fiber size for Type II B fibers suggest that the abdominal muscles of Japanese macaques have properties similar to the propulsive and locomotory muscles in the limbs.

Japanese Macaques (Macaca fuscata) as Natural Reservoir of Bartonella quintana
Bartonella quintana bacteremia was detected in 6 (13.3%) of 45 wild-caught Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata). Multilocus sequence typing of the isolates revealed that Japanese macaques were infected with a new and specific B. quintana sequence type. Free-ranging Japanese macaques thus represent another natural reservoir of B. quintana.

We screened 495 serum samples from 20 species of non-human primates for the antibody against hepatitis E virus (HEV). Anti-HEV IgG was detected in 84 of 232 (36.2%) Japanese monkeys, 2 of 19 (10.5%) cynomolgus monkeys, 3 of 83 (3.6%) rhesus monkeys, and 1 of 1 (100%) Taiwanese monkey, respectively. These results suggest that HEV is circulating among monkeys belonging to the genus macaca. A high...
