Conclusions A rapidly decreasing CS synthesis in developing rat liver was shown. Parallel to the declining rate of CS biosynthesis the activity of xylosyltransferase is reduced. These findings point to a regulatory role of this enzyme in proteochondroitin sulphate synthesis in rat liver. Whether changes in CS synthesis have to be due to a changed synthetic capacity of hepatocytes or to the decreased number of hemopoietic cells in developing rat liver is not yet definitely clear and needs further investigation.
