Abstract
The hydroxyproline concentration of the blood of rats was determined during pregnancy and after the administration of growth hormone, 30 tibia units daily for 3 weeks, and compared with values of control animals. Without growth hormone, the mean value for 10 pregnant animals was 1.5 [mu]g/ml hydroxyproline compared with the mean of 1.0 [mu]g/ml for 10 non-pregnant animals. With growth hormone administration the mean hydroxyproline concentration of 11 non-pregnant animals was 1.6 [mu]g/ml compared with a mean of 1.8 [mu]g/ml for 10 pregnant animals.Keywords
