Age-related changes in pyridinoline content of rabbit collagen
Experimental Gerontology
|January 1, 1982
Abstract:
The age related changes in the content of pyridinoline were followed for collagen from rabbit muscles. Pyridinoline content of the muscle collagen in 2-week-old rabbits is very low and increases markedly with growth of the animals. However, it decreases after maturation in cardiac muscle but not in red & white muscle. Pyridinoline may serve as an interesting index for aging in connective tissue.
