Glycosaminoglycans and infection [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2016 Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are complex linear polysaccharides expressed in intracellular compartments, at the cell surface, and in the extracellular environment where they interact with various molecules to regulate many cellular processes implicated in health and disease. Subversion of GAGs is a pathogenic strategy shared by a wide variety of microbial

Glycosaminoglycans and the peritoneaum [PDF]
Nephrology, 2002 SUMMARY: The introduction of peritoneal dialysis (PD) over two decades ago has allowed us to manipulate the peritoneal membrane to perform as a continuous dialysing organ. to maximize the efficacy of solute transport and waste removal, conventional PD fluids require unphysiological concentrations of glucose to provide the osmotic drive, lactate to ...
