Abstract
The serum concentrations of different glycosaminoglycan fractions have been studied in diabetic subjects without evidence of vascular complications and compared with those of age- and sex-matched normal subjects.

Furthermore, the levels of glycosylated haemoglobin A1 were positively correlated with those of hyaluronic acid (r=0.96, p
