Table 1. Normalized Collagen Content of the Human Suprasinatus Tendon (by Region).
Content of types I, II and III content in each region of the human supraspinatus tendon.

All values are normalized by data obtained from the biceps tendon. In all regions, type II collagen content was at least 18 times greater than in the biceps and type III collagen content was at least 49 times greater than in the biceps. Data are represented as median (Q1, Q3).
