The frontal muscle is formed by a complex of contractile elements which compose the set of facial muscles responsible for the expression of emotions. In view of its functional characteristics the frontal muscle consists of a mixture of high (type I) and low oxidative (type II) muscle fibres. The objective of the present study was to determine the area, diameter, and relative volume occupied by each fibre type in frontal muscles of Norfolk rabbits using nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide tetrazolium reductase (NADH-TR) histochemistry combined with morphometry. In addition, the connective tissue area (endomysium) and the number of blood vessels per fibre were evaluated. Female rabbits ranging in age from 6 to 8 months and weighing 2.8 to 3.1 kg were used....
