Heteropolysaccharides are a group of complex polysaccharides that participate in the structural, functional, and signaling mechanisms of living organism tissues. During ontogenesis, the quantity, composition, and macromolecular properties of these substances change significantly. In diseases, particularly in metabolic and hereditary pathologies, disturbances in heteropolysaccharide metabolism lead to morphofunctional insufficiency of tissues and organs. This article provides an in-depth scientific analysis of changes in heteropolysaccharides during ontogenesis, their molecular biological roles, metabolic disorders observed in diseases, as well as their diagnostic and therapeutic significance.
