Hydroxyproline fractions in serum and urine of rats during wound healing.
Total hydroxyproline in urine and free hydroxyproline, free and peptide hydroxyproline and protein bound hydroxyproline in serum are measured during wound healing in rats. The free and free+peptide fractions vary in concert with each other and with urine hydroxyproline. Protein bound hydroxyproline fractions take a very different course and behave as an acute phase reactant. The results suggest that protein bound hydroxyproline does not mirror collagen turnover but may be more relevant to C1q or complement metabolism.
