Abstract
Extracts with 10% NaCl from pancreases (from persons belonging to Group A) were fractioned and three carbohydrates (preparations) were obtained.
Two of those carbohydrates involved glucosamine, chondrosamine, galactose, mannose and L-fucose as sugar components, and one of them, which was glacial acetic acid-insoluble, was Group A active. The remaining carbohydrate contained glucosamine and glucuronic and sulfuric acid.
Through the Grant Committee of the Science Council was given a grant from the Education Department that aided this work. H. Masamune.
