title: [Influence of chitosan on growth rates and protein metabolism in rats].
abstract: The results of this experiment indicate that the content of chitosan in the experimental diet of rats influence on the true biological value of protein (BVtr) in the composition of this diet. The change (decrease) BVtr is not directly proportional to the content of chitosan in the diet. The minimum value of BVtr obtained by us has been observed by adding chitosan in an amount of 1.8 grams per 100 grams of dry diet.
