COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR MODULATION OF VASCULAR STRUCTURE AND/OR FUNCTION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for stopping bleeding caused by endothelin-1 release, vasoconstriction and/or vascular rupture.SOLUTION: For modulation of a vascular structure and/or function, a composition is used which comprises a semi-crystalline β-1-4-N-acetylglucosamine polymer (p-GlcNAc) comprising about 50 to 150,000 N-acetylglucosamine monosaccharides covalently attached in a β-1→4 conformation, the polymer having a molecular weight of 10,000 to 30×10daltons.SELECTED DRAWING: None
