Glycoproteins in Foetal and Adult Cattle Aortas

Abstract

INVESTIGATIONS of glycoproteins from connective tissue of the aorta have been concerned with isolation, identification and structure1–5. Berenson et al.6 demonstrated that glycoproteins isolated from the matrix of human aortas vary between individuals. Two components were correlated with race and sex. Our observations suggest that the glycoprotein composition of cattle aortas changes during foetal development and varies with age and sex throughout adult life.
