Used as a stabilizing agent in pharmaceutical formulations, particularly in treatments targeting metabolic and insulin-related disorders. It helps enhance cellular signaling and insulin sensitivity, making it valuable in managing conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and gestational diabetes. Also investigated for its potential in reducing inflammation and oxidative stress in neurological applications. Its sulfated structure allows for strong interactions with proteins and growth factors, supporting its role in tissue engineering and wound healing research.
