Abstract
The isolation and chemical characterization of collagen cross-linking compounds, 3-hydroxypyridinium and dihydroxylysinonorleucine, from human urine is reported. This may be a clinically useful measure of the degradation of extracellular collagen.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
