| Abstract: | Summary In comparison to other avian smooth and striated muscles, chicken gizzard contains very low levels of glycogen. This myoglobin-rich muscle seems to derive the energy for its powerful contraction from other sources.Support by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (Ste 105/25-2) is gratefully acknowledged. |
