| Authors: | S Mohan E Radha |
| Abstract: | The salt, acid and insoluble collagen fractions were estimated in red, white and cardiac muscles of 10-, 15- and 20-month-old albino rats. The total collagen level with reference to total proteins is more in red than in white and cardiac muscle. Accumulation of more of insoluble collagen and decrease in salt extractable collagen is seen in all three muscles with aging. |
