ABSTRACT
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are one of the important components of articular cartilage. The present study had determined the contents of uronic acid, galactomine, glucosamine, and hexosamine of temporomandibular joint discs in 10 dogs by Bitter's carbozole reaction method and derivative spectrophotometry. The data indicated that the contents of these components in different bands of the disc are not significantly different and that the discs of dogs contained averagely 0.6%, 0.987%, 0.4% and 1.4% of uronic acid, galactomine, glucosamine, and hexosamine respectively. The data also suggested that the discs contained keratan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate in some degree. This study is significant for analysing TMJ disc functions and its biomechanical properties in the future.
