Extract

1. The sodium and potassium content of longissimus dorsi (lumbar), psoas major, rectus femoris, triceps (lateral head) and extensor carpi radialis from 6 pigs each at pork, bacon and manufacturing weights were determined: these varied significantly and systematically between muscles and between groups.

2. Since the concentration of potassium may differ by at least 30% between muscles, it is concluded that assessment of total muscle mass may be inaccurate if based on the integration ofγ-ray emission from 40K.
