Type I and III collagen content and fibre distribution in normal human skin during ageing
Abstract
The content of type I and III collagen in normal human skin from subjects of different ages was studied by means of a new high performance liquid chromatography method and by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and scanning electron microscopy. The ratio of types I and III collagen in covered skin remained constant throughout childhood and young adult life and the proportion of type III was shown to be the same as previously reported. However, in the elderly, the proportion of type III collagen in the dermis increased to a variable degree. Scanning electron microscopic examination showed a decrease in the number of collagen fibre bundles with age. Average bundle width varied significantly with age. These results may reflect an impaired synthesis of type I collagen in aged skin.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
