It is released by mast cells and by basophils of the blood and is present in many tissues, especially the liver and lungs. Heparin is a mixture of active principles, some of which have potent anticoagulant properties that result from binding to and greatly enhancing the activity of antithrombin III and from inhibition of a number of coagulation factors, particularly activated factor X (factor Xa). Heparin also has lipotrophic properties, promoting transfer of fat from the blood to the fat depots by activation of lipoprotein lipase.  2, record 1, English, - heparin

Il existe deux isoformes de chondroïtine sulfate : la forme 4-sulfate et la forme 6-sulfate. Dans les cartilages de sujets jeunes, la forme 4-sulfate prédomine sur la forme 6-sulfate, alors que c'est l'inverse dans les cartilages de sujets âgés. Plus le taux de chondroïtine-4-sulfate est bas et celui de 6-sulfate est élevé au sein du cartilage articulaire, plus le métabolisme des protéoglycanes décline. Le ratio chondroïtine-6-sulfate sur chondroïtine-4-sulfate serait donc le reflet du degré de gravité de l'arthrose. [...] Des deux formes de chondroïtine sulfate, le chondroïtine-4-sulfate favorise surtout la synthèse de glucosamine par les chondrocytes, tandis que le chondroïtine-6-sulfate inhibe surtout l'activité de l'élastase.  4, record 2, French, - chondro%C3%AFtine%206%2Dsulfate
