sulfato de condroitina formado por dissacarídeos não saturados sulfatados na proteção e no reparo de tecido conjuntivo

摘要

The present invention generally relates to the protection and repair of connective tissues. In particular, the present invention relates to the use of chondroitin sulfates and its derivatives in connective tissue protection and repair. The present inventors have found that unsaturated disaccharidic chondroitin sulfate can be used for the preparation of a composition to develop, protect and/or repair connective tissues. This allows it for example to treat or prevent osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, and/or the symptoms thereof as well as to treat or prevent signs of skin ageing such as the appearance of wrinkles effectively.
