Popis: Urinary chondroitin sulfates were measured quantitatively and qualitatively in healthy human males ranging from prematurity to 80 years of age. Between 20 and 30 years of age, chondroitin 4-sulfate the predominant urinary component in the young is displaced by chondroitin 6-sulfate. Chondroitin (molecular weight about 20, 000) constitutes 21% of the total glycosaminoglycans in premature infants but rapidly decreased to 2.5% by 4 years of age.
