“…Acceleration of degradation of high-molecular-weight HA occurring under inflammation and/or oxidative stress is accompanied by impairment and loss of its viscoelastic properties (Parsons et al,
2002; Soltes et al,
2005; Stankovska et al,
2005; Lath et al,
2005; Hrabarova et al,
2007; Valachova & Soltes, 2010; Valachova et al,
2013a). Low-molecular weight HA was found to exert different biological activities compared to the native high-molecular-weight biopolymer.…”
