In the case of chitosan monomer (GlcN), high concentration
of GlcN (1 mg/ml) produced a significant suppression in proliferation of L02 cells relative to control,
with decreases of 35.2%, 60% and 72.9% on days 1, 3 and 5, respectively. In addition, there was no
significant effect of the chitooligomers on the functions of albumin secretion and urea synthesis of the
hepatocytes.
