High‐ M r (> 2 × 10 6 ) hyaluronic acid (about 82 ) was found for the first time in rabbit pericardial fluid. Biosynthetic experiments with minced pericardium from rabbit showed that the high‐ M r hyaluronic acid in the pericardial fluid was actively synthesized by the pericardium from [ 3 H]glucosamine.
