The relative contribution of increases in fiber area to stretch-induced muscle enlargement was evaluated in the slow tonic fibers of the anterior latissimus dorsi of adult Japanese quails. A weight corresponding to 10% of the bird's body mass was attached to one wing. Thirty days of stretch in 34 birds averaged 171.8 +/- 13.5% increase in muscle mass and 23.5 +/- 0.8% increase in muscle fiber length. The volume density of noncontractile tissue increased in middle and distal regions of stretch-enlarged muscles. Mean fiber cross-sectional area increased 56.7 +/- 12.3% in the midregion of stretched muscles. Further analysis indicated slow beta-fiber hypertrophy occurred in proximal, middle, and distal regions; however, fast alpha-type fiber hypertrophy was limited to middle regions of stretched muscles. Stretched muscles had a significant increase in the frequency of slow beta-fibers that were less than 500 microns 2 in all regions and fast alpha-type fibers in middle and distal regions. Total fiber number was determined after nitric acid digestion of connective tissue in 10 birds. Fiber number increased 51.8 +/- 19.4% in stretched muscle. These results are the first to clearly show that muscle fiber proliferation contributes substantially to adult skeletal muscle stretch-induced enlargement, although we do not know whether the responses of the slow tonic anterior latissimus dorsi might be similar or different from mammalian twitch muscle.
