Table 2
Comparison of Hcy- and S-Hcy-keratin levels and solubility in mammal and bird pelage.
| | Animals (number of species, ) | Hcy-keratin (pmol/mg hair) | S-Hcy-keratin (pmol/mg hair) | Hcy-keratin/(Hcy-keratin + S-Hcy-keratin) | SDS-insoluble Hcy-keratin fraction |
| | Mammals (12) | 277 ± 202 | 247 ± 146 | 0.47 ± 0.15 | 0.75 ± 0.12 | | Birds (5) | 556 ± 552 | 112 ± 54 | 0.79 ± 0.10 | 0.87 ± 0.07 | | -test | 0.518 | 0.037 | 0.0003 | 0.019 |
