Very little is known about the skeletal muscle composition and metabolism between the different breeds, which may explain disease susceptibility. Muscle samples from the <jats:italic>triceps brachii<\/jats:italic> (TB) and <jats:italic>vastus lateralis<\/jats:italic> (VL) were collected post mortem from 35 adult dogs, encompassing 16 breeds of varying ages and sex. Samples were analyzed for fiber type composition, fiber size, oxidative, and glycolytic metabolic capacity (citrate synthase [CS], 3\u2010hydroxyacetyl\u2010coA dehydrogenase [3HAD], creatine kinase [CK], and lactate dehydrogenase [LDH] enzyme activities). There was no significant difference between the TB and VL in any of the measurements. However, there were large intra species variation, with some variables confirming the physical attributes of a specific breed. Collectively, type IIA was the predominant fiber type followed by type I and type IIX. The cross\u2010sectional areas (CSA) of the fibers were all smaller when compared to humans and similar to other wild animals. There was no difference in the CSA between the fiber types and muscle groups. Metabolically, the muscle of the dog displayed high oxidative capacity with high activities for CS and 3HAD. Lower CK and higher LDH activities than humans indicate a lower and higher flux through the high energy phosphate and glycolytic pathways, respectively. The high variability found across the different breeds may be attributed to genetics, function or lifestyle which have largely been driven through human intervention. This data may provide a foundation for future research into the role of these parameters in disease susceptibility, such as insulin resistance and diabetes, across breeds.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ar.25207","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,18]],"date-time":"2023-03-18T02:03:26Z","timestamp":1679105006000},"page":"2572-2586","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Fiber type and metabolic characteristics of skeletal muscle in 16 breeds of domestic dogs"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"306","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1483-9061","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kathryn M.","family":"van Boom","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Exercise Science and Sports Medicine, Department of Human Biology University of Cape Town  Cape Town South Africa"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Johan P.","family":"Schoeman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Companion Animal Clinical Studies, Faculty of Veterinary Science University of Pretoria  Pretoria South Africa"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Johan C.
