title: Glycosaminoglycans of porcine uteri.
abstract: Glycosaminoglycan fractions were obtained from the pronase digests of the endometrium and myometrium of porcine uteri. Their glycosaminoglycan compositions were determined by the use of specific mucopolysaccharide-degrading enzymes and nitrous acid. It was found that the endometrium contained chondroitin sulfates, dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate and a smaller amount of hyaluronic acid, whereas hyaluronic acid and dermatan sulfate were the major glycosaminoglycans in the myometrium.
