Abstract
The growth of young rats was arrested for 6 weeks from 48 h after receiving an injection of L-[5-3H]proline. The 3H in the hydroxyproline of the newly synthesized skin collagen remained steady during under-nutrition and did not decrease during the subsequent recovery period. It was concluded that in this animal model the renewed growth did not induce degradation of the pre-existing collagen fibres.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
