Metabolism of a Glycosaminoglycan during Metamorphosis in the Japanese Conger eel, Conger myriaster

Figure 4

Changes in HA, body water, uronic acid, amino sugar, and neutral sugar content during development of the Japanese conger eel. HA: hyaluronan, UA: uronic acid, AS: amino sugar, NS: neutral sugar. Values represent the mean ± SEM of four independent samples. Data from the analyses were compared using one-way ANOVA followed by the Tukey-Kramer test. Differences were considered significant at 𝑃<.05. Asterisks indicate that the value is significantly different from the levels during stage 1.
