Abstract
MUNAKATA, H., ISEMURA, M., KODAMA, C. and YOSIZAWA Z. Glycosaminoglycans of Porcine Uteri. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1985, 147 (1), 73-75-Glycosaminoglycan fractions were obtained from the pronase digests of the endometrium and myometrium of porcine uteri. Their glycosaminoglycan compositions were determined by the use of specific mucopolysaccharide-degrading enzymes and nitrous acid. It was found that the endometrium contained chondroitin sulfates, dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate and a smaller amount of hyaluronic acid, whereas hyaluronic acid and dermatan sulfate were the major glycosaminoglycans in the myometrium.
