P.1566 left column bottom paragraph: "Tendons consist of collagens, proteoglycans, glycoproteins, water and cells. Tendons are rich in collagens, with the most abundant tendon component being type I collagen, which constitutes about 60% of the dry mass of the tendon and about 95% of the total collagen (primary sources). The remaining 5% consists of types III and V collagens." 1st primary source studied horses, 2nd studied humans |
