Sulfated glucosamine inhibits oxidation of biomolecules in cells via a mechanism involving intracellular free radical scavenging

Although, several effects of glucosamine and its sulfated form (sulfated glucosamine) have been proposed for the suppression of osteoarthritis, their exact mechanisms have not been completely elucidated. This study explains the novel possibility of involvement of sulfated glucosamine in improving cellular antioxidant potential and thereby controlling oxidative damage that could be effective for its therapeutic potential in osteoarthritis....
