— AChE activity and protein content in chicken ALD and PLD muscles was studied during pre‐ and postnatal development. Protein content in both muscles increased whereas AChE activity increased in ALD and decreased in PLD during development. All studied values reached the steady‐state 3 weeks after hatching. Electrophoretic separation of the samples showed three molecular forms of AChE present in both adult ALD and PLD muscles. Two molecular forms in ALD muscle increased slowly, one form quickly. On the other hand, the activity of AChE forms in PLD muscle decreased with different rates. It appears from these results that the multiple molecular forms of AChE in muscles are not of the same physiological importance.
