Abstract
The contents of three species of proteoglycans (PGs), heparan sulfate PG(HSPG), chondroitin sulfate PG(CSPG) and dermatan sulfate chondroitin sulfate PG(DSCSPG), in human thoracic aortas of subjects from districts of high (Beijin, in North China) and low (Nanning, in South China) prevalence of atherosclerosis in China were quantitated. Higher aortic HSPG and DSCSPG (but lower DS) in samples from Nanning than those from Beijing might be implicated in the lower prevalence of atherosclerosis in the former.
