Abstract
This study showed that the excised periodontal ligament from humans and hamsters actively synthesizes protein, as measured by 14C-proline incorporation, when incubated in vitro for periods of 30 minutes to six hours. However, only a small percentage of the protein synthesized was collagen.Keywords
