The results of chromatographic and electrophoretic separation of glycosaminoglycanes from blood serum, articular cartilage and bone tissue

The results of chromatographic and electrophoretic seperation of glycosaminoglycanes from blood serum of normal donors, those from bone tissue of farm animals and from articular cartilage of intact dogs are given in the work. Due to the fact, that chemical properties of glycosaminoglycanes, which are tissue-specific but species-nonspecific compounds, determine functional potentials of tissues, it is naturally to suppose that early reactive changes and subsequently pathologic process development are localized in the system of protein-polysaccharide complexes.
