Effects of GAG removal on tissue water content. The removal of GAGs from fresh tissue resulted in a decreased cuspal water content as well as a decreased capacity for rehydration. Seven day Glut-fixed cuspal tissue, which itself was less capable of being rehydrated, also demonstrated a decrease in water content as a consequence of GAG removal (p = 0.002).
