The present immunohistological study was conducted to investigate the localization of fatty acid translocase CD36 (FAT/CD36) in the skeletal muscle (Biceps femoris) fibers of bovine, swine and ovine. The results showed that CD36 was mainly localized in type I muscle fiber of these animals. In contrast, FAT/CD36 localization in type II fiber was insignificant in the types of muscle in the present experiments, suggesting that type II fiber of bovine, swine and ovine might lack fatty acid translocase FAT/CD36.
