BASIC BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES Confirmation that Neither Phenotype Nor Hydroxylation of Collagen Is Altered In Overgrown Gingiva From Diphenylhydantoin-Treated Patients
Collagens, solubilized by pepsin-digestion of diphenylhydantoin-induced overgrown gingiva, appeared similar to collagens solubilized from inflamed gingiva with regard to: ratio of type I to type III collagen, ratio of α1 to α2 of type I collagen, and degree of hydroxylation of type I collagen.
