Abstract

The content of hexosamine and hydroxyproline in epiphyseal plates of lathyric and normal rabbits has been determined. A significant decrease (36%) of hexosamine was found in cartilage from experimental animals. Only small differences for hydroxyproline were observed between experimental and control epiphyseal plates.
