The proteinpolysaccharides of human costal cartilage [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Investigation, 1969 Water-soluble proteinpolysaccharides, called PPL, can be extracted from bovine nucleus pulposus in yields of 45%, and from bovine nasal cartilage in yields of 37% of the dry tissue weight. From human costal cartilage only 7% can be extracted. The method used to separate PPL from each of the first two tissues into four distinct fractions separates the ...

Costal cartilages - a clue for determination of sex [PDF]
Biomedical Papers, 2004 Mineralization and ossification in the human costal cartilages were studied radiologically. The aim of our study was to evaluate differences between males and females with respect to patterns of costal cartilage calcification and also with respect to ageing. Material for this study consists of 1044 chest and abdominal radiograms of the Czech population
