POLYSACCHARIDES OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE

Biosynthesis of Connective Tissue Polysaccharides

ABSTRACT The biosynthesis of chondroitin sulphate exemplifies the formation of connective tissue polysaccharides. Six different glycosyltransferases participate: a chain-initiating xylosyltransferase, two galactosyltransferases, two glucuronosyltransferases, and an N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase. Some of their properties are discussed, particularly their substrate specificities determined wi...

Hydrodynamic properties of connective-tissue polysaccharides.

The major hydrodynamic properties of the connective-tissue polysaccharides are those that describe polysaccharide-water interaction as embodied in their osmotic-pressure and hydraulic-conductivity properties. This study shows that, for polysaccharides such as chondroitin sulphate, hyaluronate and the heparin-like polysaccharides, their hydrodynamic properties depend primarily on the presence of...

Connective tissue massage.

Connective tissue massage (CTM) is a manipulative technique that facilitates the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of pathologies. Observation and subsequent manipulation of the skin and subcutaneous tissues can have a beneficial effect upon tissues remote from the area of treatment. These effects appear to be mediated by neural reflexes that cause an increase in blood flow to the affecte...
