Measurement of urinary glycosaminoglycans in dogs.
OBJECTIVES To measure urine concentrations of sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), determine optimal storage conditions for urine samples, establish a reference range, and determine whether there is correlation between 24-hour total urine GAG excretion and the GAG-to-creatinine ratio (GCR). ANIMALS 14 healthy adult dogs. PROCEDURE Single urine sample GAG concentrations and GCRs were measured...
متن کاملThe glycosaminoglycans of human plasma.
A method is proposed for the measurement of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) on 5-10 ml of plasma. It is based on the adsorption of GAG on small ECTEOLA columns followed by measurement of the hexuronic acid in the NaCl eluates. Routine use of the method has indicated the presence of a GAG fraction that adsorbs readily on ECTEOLA ("free" GAG) and of another that adsorbs on it only after treatment with p...
متن کاملAnomalous structure of urinary glycosaminoglycans in patients with pseudoxanthoma elasticum.
BACKGROUND Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a hereditary connective tissue disease in which proteoglycans have altered properties. We investigated whether altered proteoglycan metabolism occurs in vivo and may be reflected in the urine of PXE individuals by analyzing the excreted polysaccharides. METHODS We measured sulfated glycosaminoglycans in the urine of 10 PXE-affected patients, 12 hea...
متن کاملUrinary excretion of glycosaminoglycans in the various forms of gargoylism.
The urinary excretion of glycosaminoglycans in 28 cases of gargoylism, embracing the Hurler, Hunter, Sanfilippo, Morquio, and Scheie syndromes (McKusick, 1966), has been examined using the cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) turbidity test, the uronic acid/creatinine ratio, and the electrophoretic pattern of urine concentrates, as routine procedures. Ion-exchange column chromatographic techniques we...
متن کاملChemical nature of intestinal-type alkaline phosphatase in human kidney.
Approximately 10% of the alkaline phosphatase activity in human kidney is derived from the intestinal-type alkaline phosphatase isoform, which can be differentiated from adult intestinal alkaline phosphatase by selective reactivity with monoclonal antibodies. The NH2-terminal sequence of the renal intestinal-type alkaline phosphatase was shown to be identical to sequences of the adult and mecon...
