A large elevation in 15N/14N of collagenous amino acids: an insight from starvation experiments of marine organisms by Hyuntae Choi, Yuko Takizawa, Nayeon Park, Yoshito Chikaraishi

“…We thus demonstrate that the consumption of collagen in organisms under starvation shows a unique elevation pattern in the δ15NAA value, which is consistent with the observation that collagen is degraded non-quantitatively by the collagenase reaction, whereas muscle is degraded quantitatively by the chaperone-mediated autophagy. The effect of δ15N elevation in all amino acids of collagen is negligible for G. punctata and diluted for T. sazae to the elevation in whole muscle tissue (i.e., = muscle fibers + collagen) even under long-term starvation, because the collagen proportion in the whole muscle is relatively small and is considerably decreased under the nutritional stress. …”
