Uteri were collected at the slaughter of non-pregnant dairy cattle and cattle at various stages of gestation. The weight of the whole uterus increased about 12-fold during the 9 month gestation period. The greatest increase was in the weight of the pregnant horn. The increase in weight of the uterine horns was accompanied by an increase in collagen content. The collagen concentration did not change. The collagen crosslink pyridinoline was identified in pregnant uterine tissues at a level of about 0.13 residues per mole of collagen; this level was the same at the beginning and end of pregnancy.
子宫取自非妊娠奶牛和处于不同妊娠阶段的奶牛屠宰时。在9个月的妊娠期内，整个子宫的重量增加了约12倍。增加最多的是妊娠角的重量。子宫角重量的增加伴随着胶原蛋白含量的增加。胶原蛋白浓度没有变化。在妊娠子宫组织中鉴定出胶原蛋白交联吡啶啉，其水平约为每摩尔胶原蛋白0.13个残基；这个水平在妊娠开始和结束时是相同的。
