The results of the study can be used to correct lipid metabolism in the development of disorders in hyperlipidemia. This makes it possible to expand the scope of use of the studied substance and create new pharmaceuticals based on bis(µ-tartrato)di(μ-hydroxy) germanate (IV) triethanolammonium prevent and inhibit the development of hyperlipidemia.
