mucopolysaccharides

It is used as a screening test for mucopolysaccharides.

When the body cannot process certain types of mucopolysaccharides, they build up or are eliminated, causing various symptoms.

The affected cells are T-cells that have pathological quantities of mucopolysaccharides.

The mucopolysaccharides attract water to raise the vitelline membrane.

There may be an increase in the number of mucopolysaccharides in the corneal stroma.

Early lesions, rich in acid mucopolysaccharides, stain positively with alcian blue.

A mucoprotein is a glycoprotein composed primarily of mucopolysaccharides.

It contains neutral mucopolysaccharides and is secreted by haemocytes (Wigglesworth, 1956).

Glycosaminoglycans (formerly called mucopolysaccharides) are also found in the fluid that lubricates our joints.

The contents of the granules contain proteases, mucopolysaccharides, hyalin, and peroxidases.

Some years ago Causton found that biological polymers called mucopolysaccharides could exclude protein from some surfaces.

Bacteria produce adhesive chemicals called mucopolysaccharides.

The virus is attracted to the glycoproteins and mucopolysaccharides of the mucus coating the respiratory mucosa.

The umbilical cord is composed of Wharton's jelly, a gelatinous substance made largely from mucopolysaccharides.

They produce metabolic error that results in an accumulation of mucopolysaccharides in the tissues of the body."

Diagnosis often can be made through clinical examination and urine tests (excess mucopolysaccharides are excreted in the urine).

A deficiency of either enzyme leads to the accumulation of mucopolysaccharides in the body, abnormal skeletal development, and additional symptoms.

The accumulation of these large, undegraded mucopolysaccharides in the cells of the body causes a number of physical symptoms and abnormalities.

High concentrations of mucopolysaccharides in the cells of the central nervous system, including the brain, cause the neurological and developmental deficits that accompany these disorders.

It interferes with the body's ability to break down and recycle specific mucopolysaccharides, also known as glycosaminoglycans or GAG.

A deficiency in this enzyme results in the build-up of non-hydrolyzed mucopolysaccharides in the patient.

Acid mucopolysaccharides is a test that measures the amount of mucopolysaccharides excreted in the urine over a 24-hour period.

The extracellular matrix is composed of glycoproteins (proteins and mucopolysaccharides (glycosaminoglycan)) produced by the organism's cells.

Many biopolymers - proteins, carbohydrates, glycoproteins, and mucopolysaccharides - may be used to form hydrogels that contribute to temporary adhesion.

This substance, called an enzyme, helps break down long chains of sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycans (formerly called mucopolysaccharides).
