Abstract
The rate of the scavenging reaction of hyaluronic acid with hydroxyl r adicals was investigated by means of competitive reaction with 4-nitro sodimethylaniline. It was found that the reactivity of hyaluronic acid with hydroxyl radicals depends on both the molecular weight and the c oncentration of hyaluronic acid. These features were accounted for by the characteristic molecular properties of hyaluronic acid in solution .
