The collagen crosslinking in the hypophosphatemic male mouse.
In order to evaluate the influence of bone mineralization on collagen metabolism, the bone collagen crosslinks were determined in femur diaphyses of mice with X-linked hypophosphatemia and of control littermates. No quantitative difference could be elicited between the two groups. It was also noted that in the mouse, cortical bone maturation is accompanied by a slight increase in the number of reducible crosslinks.
