Urinary glycosaminoglycans excretion and the effect of dimethyl sulfoxide in an experimental model of non-bacterial cystitis

International Brazilian Journal of Urology, 2008
PURPOSE: We reproduced a non-bacterial experimental model to assess bladder inflammation and urinary glycosaminoglycans (GAG) excretion and examined the effect of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).

Fluorophore-assisted carbohydrate electrophoresis (FACE) of glycosaminoglycans [PDF]

, 2001
Objective Quantitation and analyses of the fine structure of glycosaminoglycans are increasingly important for understanding many biological processes, including those most critical for understanding skeletal biology. We have developed a novel procedure,

Proton Conductivity of Glycosaminoglycans

PLOS ONE, 2018
Abstract Proton (H + ) conductivity is important in many natural phenomena including oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria and archea, uncoupling membrane potentials by the antibiotic Gramicidin, and proton actuated bioluminescence in dinoflagellate.

Calculation of continuous reference intervals for biological parameters exhibiting strong age‐dependent level changes: Its application to glycosaminoglycans and sialic acid in urine

JIMD Reports
Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) and sialic acid (total and free) assays are used as first‐line screening tests for the diagnosis of mucopolysaccharidoses and glycoproteinoses, respectively.

One-electron oxidation and reduction of glycosaminoglycan chloramides: a kinetic study. [PDF]

, 2013
Hypochlorous acid and its acid-base counterpart, hypochlorite ions, produced under inflammatory conditions, may produce chloramides of glycosaminoglycans, these being significant components of the extracellular matrix (ECM).

Antithrombotics from the Sea: Polysaccharides and Beyond

Marine Drugs, 2019
Marine organisms exhibit some advantages as a renewable source of potential drugs, far beyond chemotherapics. Particularly, the number of marine natural products with antithrombotic activity has increased in the last few years, and reports show a wide ...

An At-Risk Population Screening Program for Mucopolysaccharidoses by Measuring Urinary Glycosaminoglycans in Taiwan

Diagnostics, 2019
Background: The mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs) are a group of rare lysosomal storage disorders characterized by the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and which eventually cause progressive damage to various tissues and organs.

Glycans as Modulators for the Formation and Functional Properties of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps: Used by the Forces of Good and Evil

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
A very common mechanism to trap pathogens is the release of DNA. Like flies in a spider's web, pathogens are enclosed in a sticky chromatin meshwork. Interestingly, plants already use this mechanism to catch bacteria.

Glycosaminoglycans in nerve injury .1. Low doses of glycosaminoglycans promote neurite formation

, 1996
This study has shown that glycosaminoglycans added to the culture medium may affect neurite formation in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, The most effective glycosaminoglycans are heparin and COS 8, a preparation with low anticoagulant activity, Promotion of
