TLDR X-irradiation reduces collagen in rat skin, causing delayed skin damage.
The study investigated the effects of X-irradiation on collagen metabolism in rat skin. The researchers found that X-irradiation led to significant alterations in collagen synthesis and degradation. These changes were observed through various biochemical assays that measured collagen content and turnover rates in the irradiated skin. The findings suggested that radiation exposure could disrupt normal collagen metabolism, which might have implications for understanding radiation-induced skin damage and its potential impact on wound healing and tissue repair processes.
