β¦ Synopsis
Membranes of fat globules of cow milk contained 163 pg/lOO mg (dry weight) of glycosaminoglycans (expressed as uronic acid); 62.5% of the uronic acids corresponded to hyaluronic acid, the remaining consisted of sulfated glycosaminoglycans (chondroitin-4-(-6) sulfates, and dermatan and heparan sulfates) with different degrees of sulfation.
