Main characteristica of polymerised and degraded glycoproteins of the gastrointestinal tract mucus were revealed. The correlation connections were found between antioxidant activity of the polymerised glycoproteins and their contents ofpolypeptides and M-acetylneuramine acid. In the soluble phase of the mucus (the degraded glycoproteins and other components of the mucus layer), the level of antioxidant activity correlated with the contents of hexosamines.
