Abstract
- In 34 subjects--coal workers with pneumoconiosis, patients with collagenic diseases and healthy subjects--the daily urinary excretion of hydroxyproline (HP) and the plasma concentrations of HP and of collagenic peptidase have been measured during one week under HP-free and HP-enriched diet. It is shown that a 24-hour period of HP-free diet is necessary and sufficient before collecting urine or plasma for diet independent measurements of total or non-protein bound HP. Concentrations in plasma correlate well with the amounts excreted in urine. Collagenic peptidase is independent from the diet and well suited for assessment of the activity of the metabolism of collagene. There are no differences between healthy subjects and coal workers with pneumoconiosis.
