Collagen

Posted on Efficaciousuave

Collagen is a protein that forms the main component of connective tissue in animals. It has various functions, such as providing strength, elasticity, and structure to the skin, bones, tendons, and ligaments. Collagen is also involved in wound healing, tissue repair, and blood vessel formation. However, collagen synthesis and structure can be affected by various factors, such as genetic mutations, nutritional deficiencies, dietary toxins, and aging. These factors can lead to various disorders of collagen, such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Alport syndrome, osteogenesis imperfecta, epidermolysis bullosa, scurvy, and lathyrism. In this article, we will explore the structure and synthesis of collagen, as well as the causes and symptoms of some common collagen disorders.Continue readingCollagen
