The effect of postnatal maturation on changes in the oxidative enzyme (succinate dehydrogenase) activity in the rat soleus muscle and its motoneurons was examined at 3, 6, and 12 weeks of age. The motoneurons innervating the soleus muscle were identified using the fluorescent retrograde neuronal tracer Nuclear Yellow. An inverse relationship between soma size and oxidative enzyme activity of soleus motoneurons was observed at 3 and 6 weeks of age, whereas there was no correlation between them at 12 weeks. Although the oxidative enzyme activity in the soleus muscle increased during postnatal maturation, it showed a decrease in the soleus motoneurons. These data demonstrate that the inverse relationship between soma size and oxidative enzyme activity of rat soleus motoneurons can only be detected in the early postnatal period and that the oxidative enzyme activity in the rat soleus muscle and its motoneurons can change independently during postnatal maturation.
