Summary

Denervation of genitofemoralis in the bonnet monkey for 60 days resulted in a significant increase in neutral salt-soluble, alkali-soluble and insoluble collagens as well as glycoproteins. The hydroxyproline content of the salt-soluble and insoluble collagens in the muscle increased on denervation. These changes are discussed to imply the impairment of the action of specific structural genes.
