  
Chitosan is a hydrophilic biopolymer obtained by hydrolyzing the aminoacetyl groups of chitin.  In the body, chitosan dissolves into a gelled form that may entrap fat in the intestine and help inhibit its absorption.  Chitosan also appears to enhance lipolytic enzymes and has been shown to help decrease HMG-CoA reductase activity, the primary enzyme of cholesterol synthesis.  In addition, chitosan has demonstrated the ability to promote levels of beneficial HDL cholesterol.
