ÖZET
 Hiyalüronik asit; omurgalıların epitelyal, nöral ve bağ dokularının hücre dışı matrisinde bulunan bir polisakkarittir. Yüksek nem tutma, biyouyumluluk ve viskoelastisite özellikleri nedeni ile dünya çapında yüksek ticari değeri olan çeşitli farmasötik, biyomedikal ve kozmetik ürünlerin önemli bir bileşeni hâline gelmiştir. Günümüzde antiinflamatuar ve antiödem özelliklerinden dolayı oftalmoloji, dermatoloji, ortopedi ve romatoloji alanlarında sıklıkla kullanılmakta olup, son zamanlarda diş hekimliğinde de kullanımı bulunmaktadır.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Hiyalüronik asit; biyolojik ürün; glikozaminoglikan
ABSTRACT
 Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide found in the extracellular matrix of the epithelial, neural, and connective tissues of the vertebrates. Because of its high moisture retention, biocompatibility and viscoelastic properties, this polymer has become a major component of major pharmaceutical, biomedical and cosmetic products with high commercial value worldwide. Due to its antiinflammatory and anti-edematous properties today, it is frequently used in ophthalmology, dermatology, orthopedics and rheumatology fields and has also recently been used in dentistry.

Keywords: Hyaluronic acid; biological products; glycosaminoglycans
