  • Summary of muscle weight

    Dear Biomch-L subscribers,

    some weeks ago I have posted the following question for a colleague:

    >Dear colleagues,
    >I am looking for informations about sex differences in muscle fiber types
    >and muscle weight in humans.
    >Thanks for help.

    Thank your for the answers.
    Here is her summary:
