酸性糖胺聚糖(酸性粘多糖以下简称GG)是动脉壁结缔组织基质的主要成份,已证明在动脉粥样硬化形成过程中,主动脉壁GG与β脂蛋白形成复合物沉积于壁内。为进一步明了动脉壁GG在动脉粥样硬化发病过程中的作用,近年来对GG组成、代谢、生理功能等进行了广泛而深入的研究。由于研究所用的方法不同,动脉粥样硬化程 Acid glycosaminoglycans (acid glycosaminoglycans hereinafter referred to as GG) are the main components of the connective tissue matrix of the arterial wall. It has been demonstrated that in the process of atherosclerosis, complexes of GG and β-lipoproteins are deposited in the wall of the aortic wall. In order to further understand the role of arterial wall GG in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, GG composition, metabolism, and physiological functions have been extensively and deeply studied in recent years. Because of the different methods used in the study, atherosclerosis
