Decrease in Hexosamine Content of Epiphyseal Plates in Experimental Lathyrism.

ALESSANDRO A. CASTELLANI, C. Castellani-Bisi

Abstract

The content of hexosamine and hydroxyproline in epiphyseal plates of lathyric and normal rabbits has been determined. A significant decrease (36%) of hexosamine was found in cartilage from experimental animals. Only small differences for hydroxyproline have been observed between experimental and control cartilage.
