Physiology and pharmacology of hyaluronic acid
Fyziologie a farmakologie kyseliny hyaluronové
Kyselina hyalurunová tvoří jednu z hlavních složek extracelulární matrix, její fyzikálně-chemické a biologické vlastnosti ukazují na široké spektrum možností využití této molekuly jak v průmyslu, tak lékařských vědách. Tato přehledná práce prezentuje současné znalosti z výzkumu kyseliny hyaluronové, popisuje základní chování při fyziologických, patologických procesech stejně jako její hlavní farmakokinetické a farmakodynamické vlastnosti.
Klíčová slova:

Overview
Hyaluronic acid represents one of the main components of the extracellular matrices. Its physical-chemical and biological properties offer a wide spectrum of use of this molecule, both in industry and medical sciences. The review paper presents our contemporary knowledge gained in the research of hyaluronic acid, describing its principal behaviour in physiological and pathological processes as well as its principal pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties.
Key words:
