  • Title: Measurement of changes in amino acids related to total collagen in fibrotic human liver.
    Author: Perier C, Gautier M, Baril A, Bayle JJ, Patouillard G, Frey J.
    Journal: Clin Physiol Biochem; 1984; 2(6):279-86. PubMed ID: 6518720.
    Abstract:
    In the liver, total collagen accumulation during the fibrotic or cirrhotic process was measured using a methodology based on the determination of collagen amino acids in liver biopsies from adults with alcoholic liver diseases or children with biliary atresia. The results obtained with this methodology were compared to histopathological findings. Thus, it was shown that generally the severity of hepatic injury was dependent on collagen accumulation. In biliary atresia, collagen accumulation increased with the children's age despite reconstructive surgery and restoration of biliary flow.
