Abstract
1. 1. Aortic acid mucopolysaccharides (AMPS) were studied in fifteen different species including: dusky shark, dog fish, frog, turtle, chicken, pheasant, mouse, rat, guinea pig, hamster, rabbit, cat, dog, cow and rhesus monkey. 2. 2. Phylogenetically close species (e.g. cat and dog, rat and mouse chicken and pheasant) had similar concentration of AMPS in aortic tissue. 3. 3. Thoracic aortic segment had a higher concentration of total AMPS and chondroitin sulfate B than abdominal segment. 4. 4. Chondroitin sulfater B was not observed in aortic tissue of dusky shark and dog fish, the most primitive species subjected to this study.
