Abstract	The relative content of myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms IIb, IIa and I in human skeletal muscle taken from the m. vastus lateralis of 30 healthy male subjects was analysed using mini-gel electrophoresis. Repeated electrophoretic gels utilizing the same methods were produced for all subjects and the determination of MHC protein bands was performed using a digital scanner and National Institutes of Health (NIH) Image software and laser densitometry. A comparison between the NIH Image processing technique and laser densitometry revealed differences of 6.47%, 6.35% and 6.84% between these measurement techniques for MHC-IIb, -IIa and -I isoforms, respectively. The percentage technical error of measurement (TEM%) between electrophoretic gels was shown to be 19.1%, 17.8% and 14.2%, with regard to percentage of occurrence of MHC-IIb, -IIa and -I isoforms respectively. The variation in electrophoretic gel analyses was shown to be 5.7%, 7.3% and 5.5%, with regard to the percentage of MHC-IIb, -IIa and -I isoforms respectively. Intra-class correlations comparing NIH Image and laser densitometry produced r values in the range 0.38–0.63. Comparisons between and within gel analyses produced r values in the range 0.59–0.94 and 0.93–0.98, respectively. Analyses of variance revealed no significant differences (P < 0.05) between analysis techniques, between␣gels or within gels for the measurement of MHC-IIb, -IIa and -I isoforms. The inter-gel error between fibre subgroups was moderate for the two type-II MHC populations and less for type-I MHC; the intra-individual error in the measuring technique used for classifying the MHC-IIb, -IIa and -I protein bands was small. The results obtained in this investigation showed consistent trends which may reflect a false classification of the type-II MHC populations for the inter-gel and intra-individual analyses. The NIH Image software and digitizing process was shown to be a valid and reliable method for distinguishing between MHC protein bands of human skeletal tissue as separated by mini-gel electrophoretic techniques.
