The effect of reinnervation on the activities of prolyl 4-hydroxylase (PH) and galactosylhydroxylysyl glucosyltransferase (GGT), both enzymes of collagen biosynthesis, and on the concentration of hydroxyproline (Hyp) was studied in gastrocnemius, soleus, and tibialis anterior muscles of rat 19, 26, 40, and 61 days after crush denervation of the sciatic nerve. The GGT activity was elevated in denervated gastrocnemius and soleus muscles and the PH activity in gastrocnemius. Muscular Hyp concentration was increased in denervated tibialis anterior muscle. Both the PH and GGT activities and the Hyp concentration returned to the control level during the reinnervation period (19-61 days from the start of denervation). It seems that denervation atrophy of skeletal muscle is associated with an increased rate of muscular collagen biosynthesis and that during reinnervation collagen synthesis rate decreases despite accelerated muscular growth. The results thus suggest that innervation is a powerful suppressive regulator of muscular collagen biosynthesis.
