Abstract:
Quaternized chitosan was synthesized and structurally determined. The result showed that N,N,N-trimethylchitosan had a significant lowering cholesterol effect in blood of rats and rabbits in comparison to cholestyramine. Moreover TMC did not decrease the HDL-C (High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol) used in treatment of arteriosclerosis.
