Chondroitin sulfate

What is chondroitin sulfate

Chondroitin sulfate is a sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) composed of alternating sugar chains (N-acetylgalactosamine and glucuronic acid). It is usually attached to proteins as part of proteoglycans. Chondroitin chains can have over 100 individual sugars, each of which can be sulfated in different locations and amounts. Chondroitin sulfate is an important structural component of cartilage and provides most of its resistance to compression. Along with glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate has become a widely used dietary supplement for the treatment of osteoarthritis.

The mechanism of action of chondroitin sulfate

The effects of chondroitin sulfate in patients with osteoarthritis may be the result of multiple reactions, including its anti-inflammatory activity, stimulation of the synthesis of proteoglycans and hyaluronic acid, reduction of the catabolic activity of chondrocytes, and inhibition of proteolytic product synthesizing enzymes. , nitric oxide, and other substances that help destroy the cartilage matrix and lead to the death of articular cartilage cells. A recent review summarizes data from reports describing the biochemical basis for the effects of chondroitin sulfate on osteoarthritic joint tissue.

The role of chondroitin sulfate

Adjust body functions - Collagen fibers and elastic fibers exist together and have the function of adjusting tissues and organs at all levels of the body. Once there is a lack of mucopolysaccharides or collagen, cells cannot function in a normal state, and destruction begins in this part of the body.

The waterway that supplies nutrients - chondroitin sulfate has good water retention. This property can maintain moisture in the body and use water as a medium to carry out digestion, absorption, transportation, metabolism and other functions of nutrients. Once chondroitin sulfate is reduced, the body's ability to retain water is reduced, and functions such as digestion and absorption of nutrients cannot proceed smoothly.

Participate in the production of bones - bones are made of calcium and phosphorus. However, amino acids and vitamin D are needed to make bones. Chondroitin sulfate plays an important role in transporting materials or supporting materials to form bones during bone formation.

Early wound healing - When the body is injured, chondroitin sulfate plays an important role in wound repair. The reason for the growth of flesh to heal wounds is that chondroitin sulfate promotes the formation of granulations and also uses animal mucopolysaccharides to prevent post-operative adhesion.

Maintaining the smoothness of joints, hyaluronic acid is the main component (27-43%) of cartilage found in most joints, giving it elasticity and smoothness. In addition, it is related to the maintenance of elasticity of the ligaments or tendons surrounding the joints. Hyaluronic acid is the main component of synovial fluid, and both chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid can promote joint smoothness.

Purify blood and prevent coagulation. Chondroitin sulfate has the function of purifying blood and at the same time, it also has the function of preventing blood coagulation. This function is widely used to prevent and treat arteriosclerosis.

On the eye tissue, chondroitin sulfate maintains the transparency of the cornea and prevents corneal swelling. When the bond between mucopolysaccharides and collagen fibers is lost, the transparency of the cornea is reduced and so-called cataracts are formed.
