suppose if collagen fibers are more in thyroid gland in winter season as compare to summer season then what does it means? thyroid gland will be more active in winter or less active in winter ?
overall, what is the general rule between collagen fibers and activeness of any tissue?
One possibility is that an increase in thyroid hormones is responsible for the increase in collagen production. Thyroid activity affects collagen production in other tissues; perhaps it affects it's own collagen production.

At the present no specific information is available about the seasonal variation of collagen turnover, at least in humans. Conversely the general rule is that the collagen content is dependent from the activeness of the cells.
