[ClickPress, Tue Jul 30 2019] Chondroitin sulfate is a sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) composed of a chain of alternating sugars like N-acetylgalactosamine and
glucuronic acid, which occurs naturally in the body & is generally found in cartilage around joints.
Another possibility is the smallest stability of
glucuronic acid complexed iron(II) ions in comparison to EPS-iron(III) ions [37].
Xanthan gum is composed of pentasaccharide units that present in their main chain units of D-glucose and trisaccharide side chains containing
glucuronic acid between two mannose units (Borges & Vendruscolo, 2008).
It is a glycosaminoglycan, one of the body's own substances in the form of a linear polysaccharide consisting of repeating units of
glucuronic acid and N-acetyl-glucosamine found in the extracellular matrix of connective tissue, synovial fluid, hyaline cartilage, the vitreous body of the eye, disc nuclei, the umbilical cord, joints, muscles, and skin dermis (2, 4).
The standard monosaccharides mannose (Man), rhamnose (Rha),
glucuronic acid (GlcA), galacturonic acid (GalA), glucose (Glc), galactose (Gal), xylose (Xyl), arabinose (Ara) and fucose (Fuc) were all purchased from Sigma.
Conjugation to
glucuronic acid was confirmed by detection of the characteristic loss of 176 unified atomic mass (u), the conjugation to sulphate confirmed by the loss of 80 u, and the conjugation to mercapturic acid confirmed by the loss of 129 u.
The aglycone is bound to various sugars including glucose,
glucuronic acid, galactose, xylose, apiose, rhamnose etc.
VPA is metabolized mainly by the liver via
glucuronic acid conjugation and CYP450 beta- and omega-oxidation.
The body processes hormones as well as drugs and environmental toxins using a sugar called
glucuronic acid. In the liver, this sugar attaches itself to drugs, hormones, and toxins meant to be excreted from the body through the bile duct to the Gl tract.
A standard curve was established with different concentrations (0.2, 0.5, 1, 5, and 10 mg/mL) of mixed standard solutions including glucose (Glu), mannose (Man), galactose (Gal), L-arabinose (Ara), [alpha]-L-rhamnose (Rha), fructose (Fru), galacturonic acid (Gal acid), and
glucuronic acid (Glu acid).
