2. Glucosamine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucosamine

   Glucosamine (C 6 H 13 NO 5) is an amino sugar and a prominent precursor in the biochemical synthesis of glycosylated proteins and lipids. Glucosamine is part of the structure of two polysaccharides, chitosan and chitin. Glucosamine is one of the most abundant monosaccharides. [2]

3. Clinical trials on glucosamine and chondroitin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_trials_on...

   A significant amount of research has been performed on glycosaminoglycans, especially glucosamine and chondroitin, for the treatment of arthritis.These compounds are commonly marketed as nutritional supplements and numerous 'soft therapeutic claims' are made about their health benefits - especially in aging populations. [1]

4. Chondroitin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chondroitin

   Chondroitin sulfate; Dermatan sulfate; Chondroitin as a supplement is now commonly used (often in combination with glucosamine) in treating the joint disease of osteoarthritis. [2] In contrast to the symptomatic treatments, chondroitin can modify the progression of a disease process in the patient which it can be used as an alternative medicine ...

5. Chondroitin sulfate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chondroitin_sulfate

   Chemical structure of one unit in a chondroitin sulfate chain. Chondroitin-4-sulfate: R 1 = H; R 2 = SO 3 H; R 3 = H. Chondroitin-6-sulfate: R 1 = SO 3 H; R 2, R 3 = H.. Chondroitin sulfate is a sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) [1] composed of a chain of alternating sugars (N-acetylgalactosamine and glucuronic acid).

6. Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chondroitin_sulfate...

   Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) are proteoglycans consisting of a protein core and a chondroitin sulfate side chain. They are known to be structural components of a variety of human tissues, including cartilage , and also play key roles in neural development and glial scar formation.

7. Dermatan sulfate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermatan_sulfate

   Dermatan sulfate is a glycosaminoglycan (formerly called a mucopolysaccharide) found mostly in skin, but also in blood vessels, heart valves, tendons, and lungs.. It is also referred to as chondroitin sulfate B, [1] although it is no longer classified as a form of chondroitin sulfate by most sources.
