Percent FG and SO fibers of equine gluteus medius greatly decreased and increased, respectively, as a function of increasing sampling depth. Percent FOG fibers decreased slightly in deeper regions of the muscle. Activities of both phosphorylase and lactate dehydrogenase were 50 percent lower in samples obtained 8 cm below the middle gluteal superficial fascia when compared to samples 1 cm below the fascia. Citrate synthase and 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase activities were several fold higher at a sampling depth of 8 centimeters compared to the 1 centimeter sampling depth. The need to carefully document intramuscular metabolic variation and sampling site in equine muscle biopsy studies was demonstrated. Percent FOG fibers of gluteus medius decreased from 1 day to 6 months of age, then tended to increase through 1 year of age. Percent FG and SO fibers increased from 1 day of age through 3 to 6 months of age, then stabilized or slightly decreased. Only small changes in histochemical staining patterns were detected as a function of age from 1 day to 1 year of age in horses. Activities of phosphorylase and lactate dehydrogenase showed large increases in equine gluteus medius from 1 day to 6 months of age, then slightly declined. Middle gluteal citrate synthase and 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase activities tended to decrease during the first 3 to 6 months of age. Enzymes associated with glycolytic metabolism had large increases in activity from birth to 6 months of age. Enzymatic changes in equine gluteus medius were large as a function of both sampling depth and age. Histochemical changes were large with respect to sampling depth; however, only small changes were found with age. Enzyme analyses were found more useful for assessment of muscle metabolism.
