| Abstract: | Abstract Sulfated polysaccharide which had a relatively high degree of sulfation showed cytotoxicity to 3T3-L1 fibroblasts. Acidic and basic fibroblast growth factors inhibited the cell damage caused by the sulfated polysaccharides, while epidermal growth factor and platelet growth factor had no effects. |
