[Collagen metabolism in the skin and bone tissue of rats after a 7-day space flight].
Collagen metabolism in the skin and bone (femur) of 3-month male rats of the SPF Wistar strain was investigated. Bone of the flown rats showed an increase in pepsin-soluble collagen and a decrease in pepsin-insoluble collagen. The skin of the flown rats exhibited opposite changes. Both the skin and bone of the flown animals showed an increase of type III collagen (in the pepsin-soluble and pepsin-insoluble fractions). Similar changes were previously observed in female rats, that were launched while being pregnant, and in their offspring.
