Abstract
Crosslinked O-Carboxymethyl (O-CM) Chitosan beads were prepared by the reaction of O-CM Chitosan with glutaraldehyde solution. Results in vi tro experiments with this new developed LDL adsorbent are presented. T his adsorbent is capable of cutting down LDL-Cholesterol without signi ficantly affecting HDL and TP (Total Proteins) levels in the plasma.
