The collagen crosslinking in the hypophosphatemic male mouse
Calcified Tissue International
|January 1, 1981
Abstract:
In order to evaluate the influence of bone mineralization on collagen metabolism, the bone collagen crosslinks were determined in femur diaphyses of mice with X-linked hypophosphatemia and of control littermates. No quantitative difference could be elicited between the two groups. It was also noted that in the mouse, cortical bone maturation is accompanied by a slight increase in the number of reducible crosslinks.
