Effect of Dietary Proline and Hydroxyproline on Tensile Strength of Healing Wounds.

Abstract

The addition of 0.5% of DL-hydroxyproline and 1% of DL proline to a 5% casein-protein depletion diet of rats and an ascorbic acid deficient diet of guinea pigs did not change the rate of gain or of tensile strength in healing wounds in these animals.
