What is mesoglycan used for?
Aortic glycosaminoglycans and mucopolysaccharides such as mesoglycan are used to treat diseases of blood vessels, joints, and cartilage
How do you make slime without borax?
this is not the best slime, but it works. you will need some flower, and some dish soap. put in however much flower you want, then little by little add dish soap till its not to sticky. (It may stick to your hands if you have some of the sticky stuff on you so just wipe off your hands).
What is the function of basement membrane in testis?
It enables the transport of materials between the underlying connective tissue and the epithelium. It's non-living and is made up of mucopolysaccharides, if I'm not wrong. Jessie Andrews THe membrane acts like an adhesive on a tile floor. It is important because it is like an anchor for the attached side of the epithelial cell and provides protection for the underlying tissue. Aneisha.
Do you have to have cornflour and borax to make slime?
Technically no. Many animals make slime out of mucopolysaccharides... humans, for example (we call it snot, or mucus if you want to be polite). However, if you're wanting to make "slime" to play with, most recipes that I'm aware of do involve either borax or cornstarch (or both). You can make a slime-like compound (though it may not be exactly what you're looking for) out of Metamucil and water... you basically microwave it and let it cool for several cycles. That said, neither cornstarch nor borax is particularly expensive; I'm not sure why this is such a stumbling block. (If you just don't know where to find them, you can get cornstarch at any grocery store, and probably borax as well. If you can't find the borax, look in the section where the laundry detergents are... one common brand is 20 Mule Team Borax.)
What are the cells producing mucopolysaccharides?
Calciforme cells.
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
How is mesoglycan taken?
Initially, mesoglycan and other mucopolysaccharides were only available through injections. They are now available in oral form.
What protein is necessary to synthesize vitamin K?
A) Albumin B) GI mucosa C) Mucopolysaccharides D) Prothrombin
What research has been done on mesoglycan?
There is some evidence that mucopolysaccharides and the related aortic glycosaminoglycans may slow the development of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) by lowering cholesterol levels
What is mesoglycan?
Mesoglycan is a mucopolysaccharide complex that is extracted from calf aorta or synthetically created and taken in pill or capsule form as a dietary supplement. Mucopolysaccharides are long molecular chains of sugar.
What are the active medicinal properties of kelp?
Phenolic compounds, mucopolysaccharides, algin, polar lipids, and glycosyl ester diglycerides. Kelp also contains protein, carbohydrates, and essential fatty acids.
How can Morquio's syndrome be prevented?
It is a genetic syndrome that makes it impossible to metabolize certain mucopolysaccharides. It cannot be prevented once born. It can be treated. The only way to prevent it is to use reproductive technology to make sure a child with it is not conceived.
What is the scientific name for spit?
The more polite (and scientific) name for spit is "saliva". It's not a pure compound and therefore doesn't have a "chemical name," though it's mainly a solution of mucopolysaccharides in water.
Mucopolysaccharides?
DefinitionMucopolysaccharides are long chains of sugar molecules that are found throughout the body, often in mucus and in fluid around the joints. They are more commonly called glycosaminoglycans.Alternative NamesGlycosaminoglycans; GAGInformationWhen the body cannot break down mucopolysaccharides, a condition called mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) occurs. MPS refers to a group of inherited disorders of metabolism. People with MPS do not have any, or enough of a substance (enzyme) needed to break down the sugar molecule chains.Forms of MPS include:Hunter syndromeHurler syndromeSanfilippo syndromeScheie syndromeMorquio syndromeThese conditions cause mucopolysaccharides to build up in body tissues. This can damage organs, including the heart. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and may include:Abnormal features of the faceBone, cartilage, and connective tissue deformitiesMental retardationReferencesNational Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.

What is hunters disease?
Mucopolysaccharidosis Type II, called Hunters disease or Hunter syndrome, is an inherited disorder in which an enzyme, iduronate-2-sulfatase (I2S), is deficient. I2S breaks down complex carbohydrates called mucopolysaccharides. Without enough I2S, non-totally broken down mucopolysaccharides accumulate in the organs and tissues of the body and become toxic.Hunter syndrome is an X-linked disorder, meaning that it is transmitted on the female X chromosome from a mother to her children and is most often seen in males, although rare female cases have been reported. Hunter syndrome can occur in any ethnic group; a slightly higher incidence has been noted primarily in the Jewish population living in Israel.There is also another that has to do with animals, back with that info. Actually it's more about things that happen to hunters pre-season like hair falling out..... :> :
