Abstract:
The article lists, characterizes, and discusses the mechanism of the action of endosorbents possessing hypocholesteremic and hypolipidemic effects. Among them are natural endosorbents--food fibers (cellulose, hemicellulose, pectins, gum, mucus, lignin and chitin compounds, etc.); artificial specific affinin and nonspecific carbonic enterosorbents (carbonitrate family, granulated, fibrous), as well as silica (aerosil, polysorb). The effectiveness and pathogenetic expediency of correcting disorders of lipid metabolism in atherosclerosis with enterosorbents is substantiated.
