Rev. cient. odontol; 9 (1), 2021
La mucopolisacaridosis tipo VI, también conocida como síndrome de Maroteaux-Lamy, es un trastorno lisosómico autosómico recesivo, causado por la deficiencia de la enzima arilsulfatasa B, lo que conduce a la acumulación de dermatán sulfato en los tejidos y su excreción ur...

Chondroitin sulfate from fish waste exhibits strong intracellular antioxidant potential

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 54 (10), 2021
Chondroitin sulfate (CS) is a type of glycosaminoglycan described as an antioxidant molecule that has been found in animal species such as fish. Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) represents an eco-friendly source of this compound, since its economical processing generates usable waste, reducing the negativ...

Aspectos neuroquirúrgicos de las mucopolisacaridosis
Neurosurgical aspects of mucopolysaccharidoses

Rev. argent. neurocir; 1 (supl. 1), 2020
Mucopolisacaridosis es una rara enfermedad que afecta al metabolismo de los mucopolisacaridos debida a la ausencia o deficiencia de las enzimas encargadas de su síntesis lo que produce depósitos de aminoglucósidos en casi todos los tejidos del organismo. De acuerdo a la enzima faltante se clasifican l...
