Term used to designate tetrahydroxy aldehydic acids obtained by oxidation of hexose sugars, i.e. glucuronic acid, galacturonic acid, etc. Historically, the name hexuronic acid was originally given to ascorbic acid.

1.	Peptic Ulcer (Peptic Ulcers) 07/01/2001 - "The results of the study made in 43 patients with gastroduodenal ulcer have shown an increase in the production of proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1 beta, the tumor necrosis factor-alpha) and a decrease in the blood serum content of the transforming growth factor-beta, which events come to favour degradation processes in collagen and fucoglycoproteins with a concomitant increase in free oxyproline, serum protein-unbound fucose against the background of a suppressed synthesis of the extracellular matrix carbohydrate-protein components as evidenced by the serum diminished concentrations of protein-bound oxyproline and fucose, hexuronic acids, and hexosamines."
2.	Mucopolysaccharidoses 11/30/1993 - "Two thousand urine samples (from patients presenting with clinical features suggestive of a mucopolysaccharidosis, MPS) were analysed by a procedure that included a quantitative measurement of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) hexuronic acids (harmine reagent), a qualitative GAG analysis (cellulose acetate electrophoresis) and a study of urinary oligosaccharide patterns. "
3.	Anthracosis 05/01/1976 - "Content of hydroxyproline, thyrosine, hexuronic acids, hexoses and dry weight of lungs were studied in animals with pneumoconiosis, caused by various agents: two types of silicosis, induced by crystalline and condensed modifications of silica, and anthracosis, caused by anthracite. "
4.	Ulcer 01/01/2015 - "Melanin decreased ulcers area by 64% and reduced the content of free hydroxyproline by 29%, the free fucose by 16% and the free hexuronic acids by 24% in the GM compared to the group 2 of the rats. "
5.	Silicosis 05/01/1976 - "Content of hydroxyproline, thyrosine, hexuronic acids, hexoses and dry weight of lungs were studied in animals with pneumoconiosis, caused by various agents: two types of silicosis, induced by crystalline and condensed modifications of silica, and anthracosis, caused by anthracite.
