a) The collagen integrity parameter (calculated from the ratio of the integrated area under the infrared 1338 peak (1356–1324 cm#x02212;1) to the area under the amide II peak (1588–1488 cm#x02212;1)) was found to be significantly lower in the oim/oim tissues compared to both the +/+ and oim/+ tissues (*p < 0.05). There was a trend (#p = 0.07) towards higher values in the oim/+ compared to the +/+ tissues. b) The collagen crosslink parameter was calculated as the ratio of the peak heights at 1660 cm#x02212;1 and 1690 cm#x02212;1 and was found to be significantly lower in the oim/oim and +/oim tissues compared to the +/+ tissues (* p <0.05).
