In a number of caimans (Caiman sclerops) we were unable to find traces of myoglobin in any of the histologically clearly cross-striated cardiac and skeletal muscles using spectrometric methods. The red colour of the heart is due to a high concentration of cytochrome c. This substance was also found in the muscles of the neck, back, tail, and the anterior extremities.
在一些凯门鳄(Caiman sclerops)中,我们使用光谱法在组织学上清晰可见横纹的任何心肌和骨骼肌中都未能找到肌红蛋白的踪迹。心脏的红色是由于细胞色素c的高浓度所致。这种物质在颈部、背部、尾部和前肢的肌肉中也有发现。
