  abstract: The purpose of this project was to assess the aerobic
  abstract: capacity and the role of intramuscular triglycerides in the
  abstract: skeletal muscles of pinnipeds. Samples of swimming and non-
  abstract: swimming muscles were collected from Steller sea lions
  abstract: (Eumetopiasiubatus), harbor seals (Phoca vitulina), and
  abstract: northern fur seals (Callorhinus ursinus) using a needle
  abstract: biopsy technique. Upon collection samples were either fixed
  abstract: in 2% glutaraldehyde or frozen in liquid nitrogen. The
  abstract: volume densities of mitochondria, myofibrils, and lipid
  abstract: droplets were determined by electron microscopy. The
  abstract: activities of citrate synthase (CS), 0-hydroxyacyl CoA
  abstract: dehydrogenase (HAD) and the concentration of myoglobin were
  abstract: determined by spectrophotometry. The swimming muscle of
  abstract: harbor seals had average total mitochondrial volume densities
  abstract: of 9.3% Vv(mt,f), citrate synthase activities of 41.6
  abstract: umol/min/g wet mass muscle, HAD activities of 51.9 umol/min/g
  abstract: wet mass muscle and myoglobin concentrations of 37.7 mg/g wet
  abstract: mass muscle. The swimming muscle of the Steller sea lions
  abstract: and northern fur seals had average volume densities of
  abstract: mitochondria of 6.0% and 8.9% Vv(mt,f), citrate synthase
  abstract: activities of 26.6 and 39.3 umol/min/g wet mass muscle, HAD
  abstract: activities of 22.8 and 47.5 umol/min/g wet mass muscle and
  abstract: myoglobin concentrations of 29.6 and 22.6 mg/g wet mass
  abstract: muscle, respectively. These values were 1.1 to 2.3 times
  abstract: greater than the values obtained from the non-swimming
  abstract: muscles. The volume densities of lipid droplets in the
  abstract: swimming muscles were generally less than 1% for all three
  abstract: species, but were 10 to 37 times greater than those measured
  abstract: in comparably sized terrestrial mammals. The volume
  abstract: densities of mitochondria were found to be 1.7 to 2.0 times
  abstract: greater than those measured for the locomotory muscles of
  abstract: terrestrial mammals of comparable size. Contrary to earlier
  abstract: reports, the results of this study show that the skeletal
  abstract: muscles of pinnipeds have enhanced aerobic capacities and are
  abstract: metabolically adapted for the utilization of intramuscular
  abstract: hypoxic conditions of diving.
