Composed of glycoproteins and water-binding glycosaminoglycans?
macrophages
What is the Myxedema?
A decreased production of thyroid stimulating hormones can cause thickening and swelling of the skin. Myxedema is caused by the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans in the skin. Glycosaminoglycans causes excessive skin swelling, which is the primary characteristic of myxedema.
What is an acetylgalactosamine?
An acetylgalactosamine is the N-acetyl derivative of galactosamine which is a repeat unit in glycosaminoglycans.
What is the clinical significance of Alcian Blue staining?
It stains basophiles, cartilage, mucopolysaccharides and glycosaminoglycans
What is mesoglycan used for?
Aortic glycosaminoglycans and mucopolysaccharides such as mesoglycan are used to treat diseases of blood vessels, joints, and cartilage
What is the differences between proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans?
Polysaccharides are of two main types. 1. Homopolysaccharides 2. Heteropolysaccharides Heteropolysaccharides are further classified as: a) GlycosAminoGlycans (GAGs) b) Glycoconjugates c) Mucilages Proteoglycan is a type of glycoconjugates whereas heparan sulfate, dermatan sulfate and hyaluronic acid are examples of GAGs.
What are the benefits of glycosaminoglycans and what skin care products is it found in?
Glycosaminoglycans can be found in Senté Dermal Repair Cream. Heperan Sulfate is the active ingredient (type of glycosaminoglycan) and is responsible for wound healing, collagen fiber production, structure & integrity of the basement membrane, and moisture retention. HS also binds to growth factors.
