Abstract
A 30-day feeding study showed that feeding 0.75% dietary chitooligomer sulfate did not influence the levels of Fe,Zn,Cu and Ca in the lungs and hearts of mice.The levels of Zn and Fe did not change,but the level of the Cu increased and the level of Ca significantly decreased in the livers of mice.Therefore,the dietary ingestion of chitosan can not depress the level of Fe,Zn and Cu in vivo,but the Ca supplement should be needed.
