This study was conducted on chicken pectoralis major muscle with different wooden breast severity in combination with different sampling locations to investigate the effects of wooden breast syndrome on protein traits and total myofiber area, and their associations. Contents of sarcoplasmic, salt-soluble myofibrillar and salt-insoluble protein and proportion of total myofiber area significantly declined with increasing severity in the superficial part of muscle, whereas the amount of heat-soluble/insoluble collagen and protein denaturation as well as the area of degenerated myofibers, connective tissue and cellular infiltrates increased. Myofibril protein content indicators showed strong positive correlations to total myofiber area. Moreover, PCA results indicated that severe wooden breast is positively linked to muscle collagen content and to protein denaturation. Our results suggest that decrease in sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins is associated with reduction of myofiber area. In turn, the muscle fibers are replaced by connective tissue, accompanied by excessive myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic protein denaturation. |
