摘要: Alveolar mucosa and attached gingiva are two continuous but functionally distinct connective tissues covering alveolar bone of the jaw. In this study, major matrix component these tissues, collagen, was biochemically characterized compared. The were obtained from mature pigs analyzed for collagen content, amino acid composition, types, cross-linking, gene expression. We found that is primarily composed fibrillar collagens content higher than gingiva. type III relative to I in when compared with cross-linking pattern also between demonstrating contained fewer reducible cross-links more nonreducible comparison mRNA expression level significantly lower These results i...
