Changes in various hydroxyproline fractions in the serum of control and HFD rabbits

Hydroxyproline fractions in the serum Control rabbits
(n = 10)		 HFD rabbits
(n = 15)
Free Hydroxyproline
(μg/ml)		 26.27 ± 5.66 16.19 ± 1.92ns
Peptide-bound Hydroxyproline
(mg/ml)		 27.16 ± 2.89 167.92 ± 72.30*
Protein-bound Hydroxyproline
(mg/ml)		 ND 95.57 ± 16.33**
Total Hydroxyproline
(mg/ml)		 156.33 ± 22.40 279.69 ± 68.67ns

*P < 0.05 as compared with control rabbits; **P < 0.01 as compared with control rabbits (Tukey's multiple comparison test); n: number of animals; data expressed as Mean ± SD; ND: not detectable; ns: not significant as compared with control rabbits; HFD rabbits: fed on HFD for 15 weeks).
