    AnnotationOur study of contractile properties, fiber type composition and myosin heavy chain isoform expression showed that the inherently enhanced motor activity of the Japanese waltzing mice (JWM) leads to fiber type transitions in the direction of slower phenotypes. JWM thus represent a suitable model for studying fast-to-slow fiber transitions under the influence of spontaneous motor hyperactivity.
