    Author: Bhuvarahamurthy V, Balasubramanian N, Subramanian S, Govindasamy S.
    Journal: Biochem Int; 1992 Oct; 28(1):105-11. PubMed ID: 1445383.
    Abstract:
    Variations of glycoprotein components such as hexose, hexosamine, and sialic acid and lysosomal glycosidases such as beta-D-glucosidase, beta-D-galactosidase, and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase were studied in the tumor tissue from various stages of cervical carcinoma of the uterus. Carbohydrate components of glycoprotein were found to be markedly reduced, and the reduction was very much significant in hexosamine and sialic acid in the advanced stages. Lysosomal glycosidases exhibited a significant increase, and among them N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase exhibited a prominent increase, in the advanced stages of cervical carcinoma of the uterus.
