Objective- To determine the effect of collagen type I on hydroxyproline content in Achilles tendon in dogs. Design- Experimental in vivo study. Animals- A total of 12 adult dogs. Procedure- Under general anesthesia and aseptic condition the dorsal surface of right Achilles tendon was exposed and after complete separation of  connective tissue, it was splitted (striking 10 times) in full thic...

objective: to validate the ethno-therapeutic claim of the traditionally used plant jasminum auriculatum (j. auriculatum) in skin diseases, by evaluating its wound healing potential along with its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties; so as to understand their role in wound healing. materials and methods: excision and incision wound models were used to evaluate the wound healing activity on ...

The formation of mature mammalian collagen fibre protein requires the incorporation in peptide linkage of, inter alia, 35 residues per cent of glycine, 12 residues per cent of proline, and 10.5 residues per cent of hydroxyproline. According to our present knowledge, in the animal kingdom hydroxyproline occurs only in the collagenous group of proteins and in elastin, which contains 1.5 residues ...

Selected parameters of quality (hydroxyproline, calcium, bone particles content, and histological determination of bone particles) of mechanically deboned poultry meat (MDPM -„firm separation“ and soft separation „Baader meat“) were compared. Comparison of results with composition (except bone particles) of fresh poultry meat (breast and thigh muscles) was performed. Hydroxyproline content was ...

Values for total 3-hydroxyproline and 4-hydroxyproline were obtained from 24-h urine specimens of 18 healthy human subjects of both sexes, whose ages ranged from the first to the sixth decade in age. Urinary 3-hydroxyproline levels, not earlier described to our knowledge, were determined by an isotope-dilution method requiring considerable purification and utilizing the amino acid analyzer for ...

I . The amounts of available cystine and tyrosine in the protein of different animal tissues showed a close correlation with the level of hydroxyproline, and may be estimated from hydroxyproline values by regression equations. 2. Estimates of ‘chemical score’ have been calculated from the content of hydroxyproline determined in a series of samples for which net protein utilization (NPIJ) for ra...

sulfated polysaccharides have shown promising effects on wound healing processes along with many other biological activities. the sulfated polysaccharides extracted from two algae species habitats in persian gulf were studied in vivo for their effects on collagen formation and epidermal regeneration. the polysaccharides were purified from aqueous extracts of p. tetrastromatica and p. boergeseni...
