Determination of the 4-hydroxy-l-proline (hydroxyproline) concentration may provide useful information for the diagnosis and prognosis of diseases caused by disorders of collagen metabolism. The objective of the present study was to apply liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to assess the hydroxyproline concentration. The hydroxyproline concentration in lung and liver tissues measured by LC-MS was compared with values obtained by a colorimetric method, as well as a fluorescence method using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) from previous studies by our group. The determination of the hydroxyproline concentration by LC-MS was improved as compared with that using the colorimetric and HPLC methods, due to its simplicity, high sensitivity (pg level) and short separation time. These results suggested that utilizing the LC-MS method for measuring the hydroxyproline concentration would be advantageous for the diagnosis of diseases associated with abnormalities of collagen metabolism.

Collagen, a critical biomaterial with wide applications in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and medical industries, can be sourced sustainably from fish scales. This study optimizes the extraction of collagen using Tris-Glycine buffer from fish scales via the Taguchi method. Various extraction parameters-buffer concentration, temperature, pH, and time-were evaluated to identify optimal conditions.

Article Synopsis
- * Over 10 weeks, the treatments led to significant improvements in blood glucose levels and weight management, with the combination therapy restoring important metabolic hormones and enhancing liver health.
- * The findings suggest that these new GPR119 agonists, especially when used with DPP-IV inhibitors, could be promising for treating metabolic dysfunctions and liver issues associated with type-2 diabetes, indicating a need for further research.

Recombinantly produced collagens present a sustainable, ethical, and safe substitute for collagens derived from natural sources. However, controlling the folding of the recombinant collagens, crucial for replicating the mechanical properties of natural materials, remains a formidable task. Collagen-like proteins from willow sawfly are relatively small and contain no hydroxyprolines, presenting an attractive alternative to the large and post-translationally modified mammalian collagens.
