Canine latissimus dorsi (LD) muscles were conditioned by electrical stimulation for myocardioplasty study. Changes in maximum force, rate of force development, Phospholamban mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) and collagen contents in the conditioned muscles were measured. These changes showed that the stimulated muscles were converted from their natural, fast-twitch and fatigue-apt phenotype into slow-twitch and fatigue-resistant type after 42 days of conditioning. This muscle type transformation is desirable for myocardioplasty.
