| Abstract: | Acid mucopolysaccharides (AMPS) were extracted from porcine gingiva. The concentration of the uronic acid extracted was 0.23% of the ry-defatted issue. The AMPS were fractioned with a Dowex 1-X2 column.
The individual AMPS components of the various fractions obtained were determine on the basis of the contents of the hexosamine, unsaturated disaccharides, and chondroitin sulfate isomers. It was suggested from the results that the AMPS of porcine gingiva consisted of large amounts of chondrotin sulfates A and B, moderate amounts of hyaluronic acid and heparan sulfate, and a small amount of chondroitin sulfate C. |
