The absolute number of satellite cells (SC) in young and adult rat skeletal muscle was estimated by correlating data from light microscopic and EM quantitation of myofiber nuclei (myonuclei and satellite cell nuclei) with biochemical assays for determining total muscle DNA content. Expressed both as a proportion of total myofiber nuclei and as absolute numbers, SC are more numerous in the predominantly oxidative soleus muscle than in the mixed glycolytic/oxidative extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle at 1, 12 and 24 mo. of age. SC proportions decline gradually in both muscles with advancing age, but absolute numbers increase significantly in the soleus between 1 and 12 mo., while EDL exhibits a continuous significant decline in SC between each of the ages examined.
