Résumé

Le sulfate A de chondroitine est un acide glycosaminoglycanes principal chez les enfants normaux. Mais cette substance diminue avec l'age, tandis que le sulfate C de chondroïtine a une tendance à augmenter. Il en résulte une diminution, de l'action du sulfate A sur le sulfate C. La prépondérence du sulfate C de chondroïtine se manifeste après l'adolescence. Il augmente continuellement au cours de la vie.
