Abstract
1) Polarographical activity in catalytic wave of ‘mucoprotein complex’ of rat skin of different ages was compared; the second wave at the potential of -1.55 - -1.60 V decreased with increasing age. A possibility of this qualitative change in non-collagenous protein moiety was discussed.
2) The mucoprotein complex of normal rabbit skin and that of the granulation tissue developed after injury of the skin were compared in polarographical activity, analytical values of carbohydrate component and the electrophoretic pattern. The polarographical activity increased with an increase of a glycoprotein resembling the α-glycoprotein of serum in the granulation tissue after the tenth to fifteenth day of injury and decreased with the process of wound healing. These results were discussed.
