SUMMARY: Changes in the morphology of myofibrils prepared from chicken pectoral muscle during post-mortem storage at 5°C were examined by light and electron microscopy. When the 24-hr stored samples were blendorized, electron micrographs showed two types of destruction in the Z-lines of sarcomeres and myofibrillar fragments: (1) The degradation and/or disappearance of Z-lines. (2) The breakdown of the junction of Z-line and I-filaments. A change in the state of the Z-line and the junction of the Z-line and I-filaments appeared to be indispensable for the fragmentation of the myofibrils. It was also shown through phase contrast microscopic observations that sarcoplasmic proteins, participating in the glycolytic cycle, may play a role in the fragmentation of the myofibrils. Evidence has not been obtained, to date, on the participation of proteolytic enzymes in the fragmentation phenomenon.
