The Connective Tissue Fiber-Water Interface: Physiological and Pathological Implications

Department of Biochemistry, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, New York, New York 10025

Water has an important role in the maintenance of the structure and strength of collagen fibers. Lathyrism and certain corticoid hormones alter the degree of hydration of the fibers and consequently affect their strength.
