Collagen browning

1. Diabetes mellitus is associated with collagen browning in humans (Absorbance equivalent to nondiabetics twice their age).

   “showed increased fluorescence and had absorbance values that corresponded to the amount of chromophore found in nondiabetics twice their age (P less than 0.025).”
