TL;DR: Investigation of two human breast cancer cell lines found that estradiol at a concentration of 10(-7) M increased [3H]glucosamine incorporation into mucin in cell lysate approximately twofold in comparison with control cultures, and a similar increase was observed in the culture medium.

TL;DR: This paper describes a novel technique for purifying glycoproteins from porcine gastric mucus by preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and electroelution that yields pure mucin preparation free of contaminating proteins and nucleic acids.

TL;DR: Increased activity of GR does not prevent the increased degradation of collagen and proteoglycans by ROS in rheumatoid arthritis and reactive arthritis patients, and correlations between GR activity and concentration of the major cartilage components in synovial fluid are presented.

TL;DR: Adhesion of endometrial cells to ECM compounds (type I collagen) was increased by benzyl-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosaminide treatment, indicating that glycosylation of extracellular domain of MUC1 can modulate adhesive properties of cells.

TL;DR: The specific reference values for urinary phosphorus excretion in healthy children and adolescents aged 2–18 years were determined and whether they changed with age during growth and were gender dependent was evaluated.
