title: Influence of plasma calcium and vitamin D on bone collagen. Effects on lysine hydroxylation and crosslink formation.
abstract: In chick bone collagen the degree of lysine hydroxylation and the magnitude of the crosslink ratio dihydroxylysinonorleucine/hydroxylysinonorleucine were both found to be inversely related to the concentration of plasma calcium. Lysine hydroxylation was also affected by a second factor related to vitamin D status.
