On the other hand, goldmember, it seems that:
Collagen is stabilized induced by proline hydroxylation: http://www3.int erscience.wiley … ETRY=1&SRETRY=0
And that
Growth hormone inhibits proline hydroxylation in vitro: http://ajplegac y.physiology.or … /220/6/1808.pdf
In vitro implies that there is no liver activity.
Therefore, gh seems to exert a direct effect (destabilization) on collagen synthesis.
So I’ll continue and check what happens.
