Abstract
The collagen and ground substance of human intervertebral discs has been studied by means of hydroxyproline, hexosamine and nitrogen analyses, as well as extraction experiments. It was found that an increase in a non-soluble fraction containing collagen and components of the ground substance takes place with rising age.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
