The extent to which muscle fibre composition was determined by the genes transmitted from parents was estimated by using successive selections of rats. A foundation population (G0) was established to carry out the selections; it consisted of 100 albino rats which were randomly chosen from heterogeneous stock. The heterogeneous stock was produced by random-mating of three strains, Wistar-Imamichi, Fischer 344 and Donryu. Successive selection for a high percentage of slow twitch fibres (% ST) was made from G0 to the fourth generation (G4). The mean values of % ST changed from 50.0% in G0 to 55.6% in G4. The mean value in G4 was significantly higher than that in G0. The realized heritability in G0-G4 was calculated from the regression of selection response on the cumulated selection differential. The regression coefficient was 0.17 (SEM 0.04). The realized heritability was significantly different from 0 at the 0.05 level. We concluded that in rats about 17% of the variation of muscle fibre composition was determined by the genes transmitted from parents.
通过对大鼠进行连续选择,估计了父母遗传基因对肌肉纤维组成的决定程度。建立了一个基础群体(G0)来进行选择;它由100只从杂种群体中随机挑选的白化大鼠组成。杂种群体是由Wistar-Imamichi、Fischer 344和Donryu三个品系随机交配产生的。从G0到第四代(G4)对慢肌纤维高百分比(%ST)进行连续选择。%ST的平均值从G0的50.0%变为G4的55.6%。G4的平均值显著高于G0。根据选择反应对累积选择差的回归计算G0-G4的实现遗传力。回归系数为0.17(标准误0.04)。在0.05水平上,实现遗传力与0有显著差异。我们得出结论,在大鼠中,约17%的肌肉纤维组成变异是由父母遗传的基因决定的。
