title: C14-proline metabolism in alloxan treated rats.
abstract: The metabolism of C(14) proline was studied for a brief incorporation period during the early phases of alloxan treatment. The study showed that 150 gm alloxan-diabetic rats excreted a large quantity of prolyl rich peptides in the urine which is indicative of a failure in hydroxylation in the diabetic animals. The data from the skin confirmed this. Possible explanations were presented.
