The preventive effects of two nutraceuticals on experimentally induced acute synovitis [PDF]
Background: Nutraceuticals are often used in the management of equine osteoarthritis, but scientific evidence of their efficacy is lacking. Objectives: To study the preventive effects of two new nutraceuticals after the experimental induction of ...

Kitazawa et al. show that chondroitin 6-sulfate represses keratinocyte proliferation in skin. They find that mice deficient in chondroitin-6-O-sulfotransferase-1 (C6st-1), which synthesizes chondroitin 6-sulfate, exhibit keratinocyte hyperproliferation ...

Differential expression of ADAMTS -1, -4, -5 and TIMP -3 in rat spinal cord at different stages of acute experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis [PDF]
Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is an animal model of inflammatory demyelination, a pathological event common to multiple sclerosis (MS). During CNS inflammation there are alterations in the extracellular matrix (ECM).

Dietary supplementation with glycosaminoglycans reduces locomotor problems in broiler chickens
This study aimed to assess the influence of glycosaminoglycan (chondroitin and glucosamine sulfates) supplementation in the diet on the performance and incidence of locomotor problems in broiler chickens. A completely randomized design was carried out in

Antigenicity of Chondroitin Sulfate.
SummaryChondroitin sulfate extracted from human costal cartilage was prepared in 3 different ways for inoculation into rabbits, (1) a 1% solution, (2) a 1% solution incubated with heat-killed, group A, type 3, hemolytic streptococcus, and (3) a 1% solution incubated with heat-killed Staphylococcus aureus. These 3 preparations were injected into rabbits

Correlations between Chondroitin Sulfate Physicochemical Properties and its in-vitro Absorption and Anti-inflammatory Activity [PDF]
Here, we investigated the influence of physicochemical characteristics of chondroitin sulfate (CS) on its in vitro absorption and anti-inflammatory activity. We used eight different synthetic and natural CS samples with a range of molecular weights (7-35 kDa) and sulfation patterns.

Avian neural crest cell migration is diversely regulated by the two major hyaluronan-binding proteoglycans PG-M/versican and aggrecan [PDF]
It has been proposed that hyaluronan-binding proteoglycans play an important role as guiding cues during neural crest (NC) cell migration, but their precise function has not been elucidated.
