(a) Schematic representation of the reduction of natural crosslinks by NaBH4. (b) Total number of natural crosslinks in reduced and non-reduced bovine skin samples (CT = control, DH = dehaired, AC = acidified, CR = crosslinked). The quantity of each individual natural crosslink is shown in the supporting information. Statistically significant changes between samples are highlighted using asterisks (* for p < 0.05, ** for p < 0.01). |
