Effect of carragenin concentration of Gigartina chamissoi “mococho” on human cholesterol

Abstract

Presently work was made the study of Gigartina chamissoi carragenin on the decrease of cholesterol in human serum up to 30 years. 2 groups of 6 people were used each one, being the group 1 with a level average of high cholesterol (3.40) and the group 2 moderately high (2.77) to the beginning of the experiment; that it is presented just as control 1 and control 2 respectively and the same ones as experimental 1 and 2 after having applied the treatment are observed in the experimental 1 a decrease to 2.69 and the experimental 2 at 2.27 what represents a highly significant statistical decrease. This allows us to conclude that the carragenin of Gigartina chamissoi is an important regulator of the cholesterol, diminishing its concentration sérica and with improving it the quality of people's life.
