Summary

THE SARCOPLASMIC RETICULUM AND MITOCHONDRIA OF BEEF AND RABBIT MUSCLES FIX AND FREE CALCIUM IONS, HOWEVER, THE INTENSITY OF THESE PROCESSES ARE DIFFERENT ACCORDING TO THE ANIMAL SPECIES. THIS IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO EXPLAIN THE CONSIDERABLE COLD-SHORTENING EXTENT OF BEEF COMPARED TO THAT OF RABBIT, WHICH IS LOW OR INEXISTENT. BUEGE AND MARSH'S THEORY EXPLAINING COLD-SHORTENING BY DIFFERENCES IN MITOCHONDRIA CONTENT OF LIGHT AND DARK MUSCLES SEEMS MORE SATISFACTORY. (Bull. bibliogr.
