Abstract
Experimental BCG-induced granulomatosis in mice was used to study changes in the dynamics of individual liver proteoglycan components reflecting phasic extracellular matrix remodeling, determined by the host-parasite interaction and associated with granuloma development. In the early BCG-granulomatosis period, the increase in individual proteoglycan components promotes granuloma formation, providing conditions for mycobacteria adhesion to host cells, migration of phagocytic cells from circulation, and cell-cell interaction leading to granuloma development and fibrosis. Later, reduced reserve capacity of the extracellular matrix, development of interstitial fibrosis and granuloma fibrosis can lead to trophic shortage for cells within the granulomas, migration of macrophages out of them, and development of spontaneous necrosis and apoptosis typical of tuberculosis.

Abstract
Background Although sex differences in heart failure (HF) prevalence and severity have been recognized, its molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. We used a tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy model to determine the sex specific remodeling pattern in male and female adult pigs. Methods We compared the echocardiographic and molecular measures of myocardial remodeling in 19 male and 12 female pigs with chronic symptomatic systolic HF due to right ventricle (RV) pacing (170 bpm) and 6 male and 5 female sham-operated controls. Males achieved subsequent HF stages earlier than females. Results The progression of symptomatic HF was associated with the reduction of the left ventricle (LV) ejection fraction in both sexes (all p < 0.05). A significant LV dilatation occurred only in males (p < 0.001). The HF development was accompanied by an increased pro-hypertrophic factor GATA4 and TGF-β1 messenger RNA (mRNA) expression in the LV only in male pigs (all p < 0.01). The total gelatinolytic activity in LV was higher in males than females (irrespective of HF, p < 0.05), and the HF progression was associated with a reduced total gelatinolytic activity (p < 0.05) in the LV only in males. No differences in LV myocardial collagen content were found between HF groups and sexes. Cardiomyocyte cross-sectional diameter was significantly smaller in male hearts as compared to female (p < 0.05). Conclusions Male and female porcine hearts respond differently to RV pacing. Males, most likely due to a higher extracellular matrix turnover, demonstrated a significant LV dilatation, followed by a strong induction of pro-hypertrophic program, and an earlier development of symptomatic HF.

Abstract
It is known that diabetes coincides with an increased risk of osteoporosis. While a disturbed collagen metabolism is proposed as a possible cause, much remains unknown about the enzymes involved and changes in the collagen-derived dipeptides and amino acids. Therefore, we sought to study this intricate pathway and the effect of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) inhibitors. Control and streptozotocin-nicotinamide-induced diabetic rats were treated for 12 weeks with vehicle or sitagliptin, a DPP4 inhibitor (Con/VH, Con/SG, DM/VH and DM/SG). The activities of four key enzymes involved in collagen breakdown were determined in serum (DPP4, matrix metalloproteinase 2 and 9 and prolidase). Dipeptide (Ala-Pro, Gly-Pro, Pro-Pro and Pro-Hyp) and amino acid (Pro and Hyp) concentrations were measured by liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. We found three-fold higher MMP9 activities in DM/VH than in controls, while in DM/SG this rise was attenuated. MMP2 and prolidase did not differ in the investigated groups. Furthermore, we are the first to report on two-fold higher Ala-Pro and Pro-Pro levels in diabetes compared to controls. In contrast, Pro-Hyp concentrations were lower in diabetes (DM/VH and DM/SG). DPP4 inhibition does not seem to have a direct influence on the collagen metabolism in streptozotocin-nicotinamide-induced diabetic rats. Instead, it probably acts through its effect on osteoprotective substrates. In diabetes, increased MMP9 activities seem to favour the production of Ala-Pro and Pro-Pro containing collagen fragments. The high Pro-Hyp levels in untreated controls might have a bone-stimulating effect. Nevertheless, the biological significance of these dipeptides is not yet clear and should be further investigated.

Abstract
PURPOSE/AIM OF THE STUDY To study the effect of quercetin, a flavanoid on cadmium fluoride-induced alterations in hydroxyproline and collagen content in mice liver. MATERIALS AND METHODS Following experimental groups were studied: Group 1, normal mice; Group 2, CdF2-treated mice administered single intraperitoneal (i.p.) injections of CdF2 1 mg/kg bw (body weight); Group 3, CdF2-treated mice administered single i.p. injections of CdF2 2 mg/kg bw; Group 4, mice-injected i.p. with 100 mg quercetin/kg bw; and Group 5, mice-injected i.p. with 100 mg quercetin/kg bw followed by 2 mg CdF2/kg bw after 2 h. Mice were sacrificed 24 h after CdF injection by asphyxiation with carbon dioxide. RESULTS 1 mg/kg and 2 mg/kg body weight (bw) of CdF2 caused a significant increase in hepatic total Hyp and collagen when compared with the liver of control mice. This was associated with significant changes in free, peptide bound, and protein bound Hyp fraction in the livers of treated mice. Quercetin treatment alone and with CdF2 also caused a significant increase in total Hyp and total collagen in mice liver. CONCLUSION We conclude that quercetin has a synergestic effect with CdF2 on the total Hyp and collagen content in mice liver.

Abstract
Background The most important function of collagen and elastin is to induce several mechanical parameters which are known to play a dominant role in governing mechanical properties of the blood vessels. The aortic tissue of rabbit is one of the important sources of collagen and elastin. The effects of high fat diet (HFD) on the hydroxyproline (Hyp) fractions in serum and aortic tissues of rabbits and collagen content in the aortic tissues of rabbits have not been documented before. The present study was undertaken to investigate the changes in Hyp fractions in serum and aortic tissues of rabbits and collagen content in the aortic tissues of rabbits during the progression of atherosclerosis. The atherosclerotic model used in this study was the New Zealand white rabbit (male; 12 weeks old). Twenty five rabbits were individually caged, and divided into control group (NOR; n = 10) and HFD group (CHO; n = 15). The control group was fed (100 g/day) of normal (NOR) diet for a period of 15 weeks. The HFD group was fed normal diet supplemented with 1.0% cholesterol plus 1.0% olive oil (100 g/day) for the same period of time. Results We found that the TC, LDLC, and TG (mg/dl) were significantly (p < 0.001) increased in HFD rabbits compared with control rabbits with percentage normalized changes of 1198%, 1591%, and 710%, respectively. The peptide-bound Hyp in the serum was significantly (P < 0.05) increased in HFD rabbits compared with control rabbits with percentage normalized change of 517% while it significantly (P < 0.01) decreased in aortic tissues of HFD rabbits compared with control rabbits with percentage normalized change of 65%. The protein-bound Hyp in the serum was significantly (P < 0.01) increased in HFD rabbits compared with control rabbits with percentage normalized change of 100%; the protein-bound Hyp in the aortic tissues of control rabbits was 235.30 ± 55.14 (Mean ± SD) while it was not detectable (ND) in HFD rabbits. Total serum Hyp showed no significant (P < 0.05) change in HFD rabbits compared with control rabbits while it was significantly (P < 0.05) decreased in aortic tissues of HFD rabbits compared with control rabbits with percentage normalized change of 73%. The total collagen was significantly (p < 0.01) decreased in aortic tissues of HFD rabbits compared with control rabbits with percentage normalized change of 73% which was supported by histological study. Conclusions These results suggest that percentage decrease in various Hyp fractions in aortic tissue of HFD rabbits are closely related to percentage decrease of collagen content in aortic tissues of HFD rabbits. These results also suggest that it may be possible to use the changes in various Hyp fractions in aortic tissues of rabbits as an important risk factor during the progression of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Mercuric chloride (HgCl2) disturbs the collagen metabolism in the body which is reflected by altered hydroxyproline fractions in the serum. The aim of the present investigation was to study the effect of HgCl2 treatment on various hydroxyproline (Hyp) fractions in rat serum and the effect of 2,3-dimercapto-1-propane sulfonic acid (DMPS) treatment on serum Hyp fractions in HgCl2 treated rats. Other parameters studied included body weight, food intake, water intake and kidney weight. Doses of HgCl2 used were 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 mg/kg body weight and that of DMPS was 100 mg DMPS/kg body weight. All the doses of HgCl2 used caused significant (p < 0.01) alterations in free, peptide-bound and protein-bound Hyp in the serum when compared with control rats but a dose of 2 mg/kg body weight caused significant (p < 0.001) alteration even in the total serum Hyp when compared to control rats. Administration of DMPS prior HgCl2 treatment of rats sacrificed 24 h after the treatment caused a significant decrease of 52% (p < 0.01) in free Hyp when compared to similar HgCl2 treated rats. DMPS treatment with HgCl2 also caused an increase of 61% (p < 0.001) and 114% (p < 0.001) in peptide- and protein-bound Hyp respectively, when compared to HgCl2 treated rats sacrificed 24 h after mercuric chloride and DMPS treatment. Administration of DMPS followed by HgCl2 to rats which were sacrificed 48 h later caused no significant change in the total and free Hyp when compared to HgCl2 treated rats which were sacrificed 48 h after the treatment. But there was a significant decrease of 40% (p < 0.001) in peptide-bound Hyp and an increase in of 77% (p < 0.001) in protein-bound Hyp when compared to HgCl2 treated rats sacrificed 48 h after the treatment. The present study shows that HgCl2 treatment caused significant alterations in serum Hyp fractions reflecting disturbed composition of connective tissues which were not reversed by DMPS treatment.

Abstract
Collagen is a family of proteins which consists of several genetically distinct molecular species and is intimately involved in tissue organization, function, differentiation and development. The purpose of this study was to investigate the concentration of different hydroxyproline (Hyp) fractions viz., total, free, peptide-bound, protein-bound, soluble- and insoluble-collagen hydroxyproline (Hyp) in various bovine tissues. Results showed that liver had the highest concentration of free Hyp followed by kidney, brain, spleen, lungs, muscle and heart. Liver also had the highest concentration of peptide-bound collagen Hyp followed by kidney, heart, spleen, lungs, brain and muscle. The concentration of protein-bound collagen Hyp was highest in the liver, followed by kidney, spleen, lungs, muscle, brain and heart. Total Hyp was highest in the liver, followed by kidney, spleen, brain, heart, muscle and lungs. Liver also had significantly high concentration of collagen as compared to other tissues examined (P<0.001). Spleen had the significantly higher concentration of soluble-collagen Hyp when compared to other tissues (P<0.001). This was followed by heart, muscle, lungs, brain, kidney and liver. Heart had the highest concentration of insoluble-collagen Hyp followed by lungs, kidney, liver, muscle, spleen and brain. The variation among the insoluble-collagen Hyp concentration of heart and muscle, spleen and brain was significant (P<0.001). We speculate that these differences could be due to the variation in turn over of rate of collagen metabolism in this species.

Abstract
A highly sensitive HPLC method for the determination of prolyl dipeptides, Pro and Hyp in serum was developed. After deproteinization of serum and pretreatment with o-phthalaldehyde, the analytes were derivatized with 4-(5,6-dimethoxy-2-phthalimidinyl)-2-methoxyphenylsulfonyl chloride at 70 degrees C for 10 min. The fluorescent derivatives of prolyl dipeptides, Pro and Hyp, were separated on tandem reversed-phase columns by a gradient elution at 55 degrees C and detected by fluorescence measured at 318 nm (excitation) and 392 nm (emission). The detection limits for prolyl dipeptides were 2-5 fmol/injection (S/N=3). Pro-Hyp, Pro-Gly and Pro-Pro were identified as serum prolyl dipeptides. The within-day and between-day relative standard deviations were 1.5-7.9 and 2.4-10.8%, respectively. The recoveries were in the range of 90.8-97.3%. The concentrations of Pro-Hyp, Pro-Gly, Pro-Pro, Pro and Hyp in normal human serum (n = 10) were 0.64+/-0.35, 0.078+/-0.047, 0.022+/-0.016, 177.0+/-43.0 and 11.1+/-3.5 microM, respectively. The concentrations of Pro-Hyp and Pro-Pro in serum of a patient with bone metastases of prostatic cancer were about three times and 50 times, respectively, higher than those in normal human serum.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the content of total, free, peptide-bound, protein-bound, soluble- and insoluble collagen hydroxyproline (Hyp) in tissues of bovine eye. The results show that lens had the highest content of free Hyp. This was followed by cornea, retina, iris and aqueous humor. The difference between the Hyp content of lens and iris (p < 0.01) and aqueous humor (p < 0.001) was significant. The peptide-bound Hyp was highest in iris followed by cornea, ciliary body, sclera, lens, aqueous humor and retina. Significant differences (p < 0.001) was observed between the concentration of peptide-bound Hyp of iris and ciliary body, sclera, lens, aqueous humor and retina. Protein-bound Hyp was highest in iris, followed by ciliary body, sclera, cornea, lens, retina and aqueous humor. The difference between the protein-bound Hyp levels of iris and sclera, cornea, lens, retina and aqueous humor was significant (p < 0.001). No peptide-bound and protein-bound Hyp was detected in vitreous humor. Iris had the highest content of total Hyp. This was followed by cornea, ciliary body, sclera, lens, retina, vitreous humor and aqueous humor. The difference in the Hyp content of iris with ciliary body, sclera, lens, retina, vitreous humor and aqueous humor was significant (p < 0.001). Cornea had significantly (p < 0.001) higher content of soluble- and insoluble-collagen Hyp as compared to other tissues. This was followed by ciliary body, sclera, lens, iris and retina. Iris had the highest content of collagen. This was followed by cornea, ciliary body, sclera, lens, retina, vitreous humor and aqueous humor. The difference in the collagen content of iris with ciliary body, sclera, lens, retina, vitreous humor and aqueous humor was significant (p < 0.001).

Abstract
Using force-feeding and pair-feeding techniques, two experiments were conducted to investigate the problem of leg abnormality associated with feeding a Val-deficient diet as compared with a diet deficient in all the branched chain amino acids (BCAA) or a Val-supplemented diet. The BCAA-deficient diet contained .96, .52, and .63% of Leu, Ile, and Val, respectively. The Val-deficient diet contained 1.37 Leu, .82 Ile, and .63% Val. The Val-supplemented diet contained 1.37 Leu, .82 Ile, and .83% Val. In both studies birds fed the Val-supplemented gained more weight than birds in the other two groups. Although birds on Val-deficient and BCAA-deficient diets had similar weight gain, the former were lethargic and showed feather and leg abnormalities. Bone ash and bone calcium for Val-deficient birds were the lowest among the three groups studied (P < .05). The levels of the BCAA in plasma reflected those of the treatment diets. Plasma hydroxyproline was lowest in birds fed the Val-deficient diet (P < .05), indicating a reduction in bone collagen breakdown. Kidney function measurements were the same for birds on the Val-supplemented and Val-deficient diets. Fractional excretion of calcium in Val-deficient birds (.13%), however, was three times higher than that of Val-supplemented birds (P < .05). The results indicated that Val deficiency per se increased calcium excretion in urine and induced leg abnormality in young chickens.

The concentrations of proline, hydroxyproline, glycine and serine were determined in the plasma of 39 haemodialysis patients and 18 healthy subjects, using liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. Plasma concentrations of the N-terminal immunoreactive parathyrin were also measured. In haemodialysis patients, the plasma concentrations of glycine (p less than 0.01), hydroxyproline (p less than 0.05) and proline (p less than 0.10) were significantly increased, whereas the serine concentrations (p less than 0.01) were decreased, compared with those of the healthy controls. Haemodialysis patients showed greatly elevated plasma N-terminal immunoreactive parathyrin values (greater than 30 pmol/l), which showed a significant correlation with the hydroxyproline values (r = 0.79). Fourteen haemodialysis patients received erythropoietin therapy. In these patients, changes in the concentrations of plasma amino acids were observed up to one year after the beginning of therapy. In the course of the erythropoietin therapy, the plasma concentrations of glycine (p less than 0.05) and hydroxyproline (p less than 0.10) of the haemodialysis patients decreased, whereas the concentration of serine increased (p less than 0.05) to approximately normal values. The results indicate that erythropoietin therapy leads to a normalization of amino acid metabolism.

Abstract
Basal plasma hydroxyproline was measured in 104 male Navy Seal candidates 1 week into their intense physical training program, which lasted 7 weeks, and correlated to the incidence of connective tissue injuries incurred later in the training program. Eleven subjects (10.6%) were diagnosed as having connective tissue injuries. Those subjects with connective tissue injuries had a significantly higher (P less than 0.05) mean plasma hydroxyproline value (4.02 micrograms/ml) than subjects without injury (3.10 micrograms/ml). The majority of graduates (75%) had plasma hydroxyproline values less than 3.3 micrograms/ml. These graduates represented the strongest and most enduring injury-free subjects. Of the subject pool who incurred connective tissue injuries, only 27% had plasma hydroxyproline values less than 3.3 micrograms/ml. The majority of the injured subjects (73%) had plasma hydroxyproline values greater than or equal to 3.3 micrograms/ml. In conclusion, there is a relationship between initial training basal plasma hydroxyproline levels and connective tissue injuries later incurred in an intense physical training program. These data suggest that elevated plasma hydroxyproline levels may represent a risk factor associated with connective tissue injuries.

Abstract
Hydroxyproline plasma levels were determined in 39 patients before and after operation of the gastrointestinal tract. In the immediate postoperative period a decreased collagen metabolism was detected. From the third and seventh postoperative day respectively a considerable increase of the plasma concentration prevailed to the termination of the measurement period. There was no significant difference in the quantitative change with regard to the type of operation, whereas there were differences in the time course of the reaction. These results support the theory that an injury induces an increase in collagen metabolism leading to an elevation of hydroxyproline plasma concentration.

Abstract
Free hydroxyproline was measured in plasma of 67 normal subjects and in 70 patients with bone disease including primary hyperparathyroidism (n = 19), osteoporosis (n = 18), Paget's disease (n = 14), cancer involving bone (n = 8), chronic renal failure (n = 6), and osteomalacia (n = 6), and osteomalacia (n = 5). A good correlation was found between plasma and urinary values of the amino acid in normal subjects (r = 0.66; p less than 0.001). In patients with skeletal disorders a highly significant direct correlation was observed between free plasma hydroxyproline on the one hand and urinary hydroxyproline (r = 0.92; p less than 0.001) and serum alkaline phosphatase activity (r = 0.86; p less than 0.001) on the other, even though there were a few examples of dissociations among these parameters. Free plasma hydroxyproline decreased in the patients with Paget's disease following chronic administration of salmon calcitonin. Following successful parathyroidectomy, free plasma levels of hydroxyproline decreased in all the cases studied. Measurement of free plasma hydroxyproline thus appears to provide a specific index of bone metabolism that may be usefully employed as an alternative to the assay of other markers of bone turnover.

Abstract
The serum levels of proline and hydroxyproline were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography using the post-labeled method with o-phthalaldehyde and sodium hypochlorite in 30 patients of tuberous sclerosis (TS) and compared with those in 32 pathological control subjects of similar age. No significant difference in the levels of serum free hydroxyproline was observed between TS and controls in any age group. In the age group of 9 to 18 years, TS showed significantly higher mean free proline levels in serum than controls with a difference of about 50 mumol/L. In both groups of TS and controls, total and free levels of hydroxyproline from ethanol-extractable serum showed similar age-dependent curves with peak values at age 12 years, and there was also no difference in the 2 levels between the 2 groups. It is suggested that this higher free proline level in TS with the autosomal dominant trait may be explained as the abnormal regulation of proline metabolism.
