Relative contributions of maternal and paternal genome to genetic variation in fetal myofibre characteristics, absolute and relative muscle weights, and <i>H19</i> transcript abundance.

<p>Myofibre characteristics were determined in <i>M. semitendinosus.</i> CSA: Cross-sectional area. Total cell: All myofibres measured regardless of cell type. Combined muscle weights: Sum of <i>M. supraspinatus, M. longissimus dorsi</i>, <i>M. semimembranosus</i> and <i>M. quadriceps femoris</i> weight. Relative muscle weight: Absolute muscle weight divided by decapitated and eviscerated fetal carcass weight.
