title: Recovery from alloxan diabetes as revealed by collagen characteristics of bone, skin and tendon of Swiss mice.
abstract: Alloxan-decreased percentage solubility level of collagen in bone, skin and tendon following 4 and 28 days of treatment showed an almost complete recovery to normal levels in bone and skin after a 20-day recovery period. Alloxan effect if still maintained in tendon after repeated doses, suggesting tissue specificity of the recovery process.
