The age-dependent changes in reducible collagen cross-links, Schiff bases and their precursors were followed for human bone and articular cartilage throughout the whole life span from 3-89 yr of age. With aging, the reduced Schiff bases dihydroxylysinonorleucine remarkably decreased while hexitollysine peaks increased significantly in both collagens. Dihydroxynorleucine, the precursor of the cross-link, increased slightly with age. Changes in hydroxylysinonorleucine and lysinonorleucine were comparatively small. These changes were discussed in relation to the increased insolubility observed in both collagens at higher age.
