Summary
Isolated tubules of the renal medulla of guinea-pig and rat contained glycosaminoglycans. 20–25% of the uronic acids corresponded to hyaluronic acid. In the guinea-pig, chondroitin and dermatan-sulfates accounted for at least 50% of the uronic acids, whereas, in the rat, heparan sulfates comprised 65–70% of them.
