Correlation between hyaluronic acid, hyaluronic acid synthase and human renal clear cell carcinoma

Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel Materials

This chapter discusses two protocols that are used throughout the remaining chapters. These protocols and experimental data comprise the early preliminary work of this dissertation. The first protocol is the synthesis of photocrosslinkable glycidyl methacrylate modified hyaluronic acid (GMHA). This derivative was synthesized by the reaction of glycidyl methacrylate with HA in a solvent mixture ...

Hyaluronic acid (hyaluronan)

Hyaluronic Acid Complexes of Human Synovial Fluid

1. By taking advantage of the low metabolic rate of the alligator, it was possible to study the effect of insulin on the rate at which each of a large group of amino acids was utilized in vivo. 2. 'Amino acid tolerances' of both isomers of amino acids were determined in the alligator and in the rat by the injection of 10 m-moles/kg. followed by analyses of plasma amino acids at frequent interva...

Hyaluronic acid and nerve regeneration

The tubulization repair technique is a useful model for studying peripheral nerve regeneration since it provides quantifiable parameters for assessing the effects of exogenously applied substances on nerve repair. In this study, we observed that the local administration of hyaluronic acid (HA) in a tubular prosthesis at the time of implantation significantly improved the repair process, and tha...

Hyaluronic acid and wound healing.

BACKGROUND We developed an experimental model of ethanol-induced dermatotoxicity and hepatocytoxicity using normal human keratinocytes and normal human hepatocytes that preserve inducible cytochrome p450 activities. The original work was described in several articles. The objective of this study was to determine whether hyaluronic acid attenuates skin necrosis, and to further clarify its uses i...
