| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The reason why salivary glycine and proline concentraions are increased during aging process, keeping the same ratio, was investigated. Three normal oral cells, such as human gingival fibroblast, periodontal ligament fibroblast and pulp cells produced these amino acids at 3 to 10 times lower speed, and have one order lower intracellular concentration as compared with glutamine and glutamic acid, under normal inflammatory and cytotoxic conditions. The intracellular concentration of proline was one third that of glycine. This suggests the possible enhancement of degradation of collagen and hydroxyproline.
