  • Title: The effect of beta-aminopropionitrile on bleomycin-induced lung injury in rats.
    Author: Ledwozyw A.
    Journal: Acta Physiol Hung; 1995; 83(1):91-9. PubMed ID: 7544946.
    Abstract:
    The effect of beta-aminopropionitrile on collagen cross-links, lysyl oxidase and prolyl hydroxylase and particular collagen type content in rat lungs after bleomycin treatment was investigated. It was stated, that beta-aminopropionitrile significantly diminishes elevated dihydroxylysinonorleucine to hydroxylysinonorleucine ratio, prevented increase of lysyl oxidase activity and increase in type I collagen content in the lungs. It is suggested, that beta-aminopropionitrile may be useful in the treatment of lung fibrosis.
