 note = {The x-ray small angle scattering method disclosed that the crystallographic fiber of gerbil tail tendon collagen did not change with aging. Two kinds of scattering profiles were recognized ; crystalline diffraction spots and the amorphous diffuse scattering halo. The crystalline diffraction spots were broad in a younger tendon. However, they became sharper with aging. The amorphous diffuse halo that is marked in young tendon diminishes with aging. These results indicate that 1 ; the collagen fiber of a young tendon contains many crystal defects, 2 ; the content of proteoglycan in an younger tendon is higher than that in an older tendon. The x-ray diffraction profile becomes clear with aging., Connective tissue, 33(3), pp. 209-211; 2001},
