The biosynthesis and degradation of myocardial collagen was studied in myocardium infarcted rats after a single intraperitoneal injection of 3H-proline. The incorporation of tritiated proline into collagen as 3H-hydroxyproline was regarded as a measure of collagen synthesis. The total content as well as total activity of hydroxyproline were measured in the whole homogenate, neutral salt soluble fraction, insoluble fraction and in urine collected at different time intervals and specific activities were calculated. Both collagen anabolism and catabolism were found to be affected in infarcted rat hearts. Degradation of existing collagen at the earlier stages of myocardial infarction and a simultaneous new collagen synthesis and deposition as insoluble form later took place. |
