Popis: L112® and FF45® are two polyglucosamines with similar characteristics and molecular weights. Three groups of 15 young male rats each were fed a standard diet or a diet containing 2% L112® or FF45® for 4 weeks, and we measured their body weight; water and food intake; triglyceride and total, low-density lypoproteins (LDL) and high-density lypoproteins (HDL) cholesterol levels; and the amount of feces and fecal water and lipid concentrations. The results showed that both L112® and FF45® reduced the increase in body weight in comparison with controls (respectively 152 ± 18.7 g and 155 ± 18.7 g vs 166 ± 18.1 g; ANOVA P
