[Behaviour of collagen peptidase in the serum of patients with progressive systemic sclerosis during gestagen therapy (author's transl)].
In 20 patients with progressive systemic sclerosis the activity of collagen peptidase in serum before and after gestagen therapy of 10 resp. 20 days was determined. After 20 days the enzyme activity was significantly decreased. These findings show no correlation to the known gestagen induced alterations of the collagen metabolism.
