Abstract
Total urinary excretion of hydroxyproline has been found to be significantly decreased in adult diabetics and was increased after hypophysectomy for diabetic retinopathy. There was no change in hydroxyproline excretion after the administration of 53 mg. of human growth hormone to one patient with hypopituitarism over a 4 day period.
