Hyaluronan in joint cavitation.
Introduction The view that the functional characteristics of connective tissues develop and are subsequently maintained, at least partly, by mechanisms that match their structure to their prevailing mechanical milieu is supported by many studies (for a review, see [l]). This relationship is clearly evident in the musculoskeletal system, where the morphology of different types of joint is closel...
متن کاملEndogenous hyaluronan in corneal disease.
PURPOSE Hyaluronan (HA) is a disaccharide polymer capable of binding considerable amounts of water. It is present in trace amounts on the cornea endothelium, and it is not normally found in the epithelium or stroma. A specific histochemical stain was used to test for HA in a wide variety of corneal disorders. METHODS. Eighty-six human corneal tissue specimens were examined histochemically for H...
متن کاملHyaluronan and synovial joint: function, distribution and healing
Synovial fluid is a viscous solution found in the cavities of synovial joints. The principal role of synovial fluid is to reduce friction between the articular cartilages of synovial joints during movement. The presence of high molar mass hyaluronan (HA) in this fluid gives it the required viscosity for its function as lubricant solution. Inflammation oxidation stress enhances normal degradatio...
