Abstract
The serum concentration of hyaluronan (HA) was measured by radiometric assay in patients with pretibial myxedema (PTM) and Graves“ ophthalmopathy (GO). The mean HA concentration in the patients (n=8) was 21.2± 15.3 (mean±SD) μg/1, while that of Graves' disease without skin or eye involvement (n=7) was 23.5±11.0 (mean±SD) μg/1 and that of the control (n=8) was 25.5±16.4 (mean±SD) μg/1. We conclude that local accumulation of glycosaminoglycan in PTM or GO is not associated with an increase in the serum HA concentration. © 1990, The Japan Endocrine Society. All rights reserved.
