TL;DR: In vitro and in vivo hypoglycemic experiments showed that LBP-s-1 had significanthypoglycemic effects and insulin-sensitizing activity through increasing glucose metabolism and insulin secretion and promoting pancreatic β cell proliferation.

TL;DR: An acidic polysaccharide LBP-1 isolated from the fruit of Lycium barbarum L. was purified by ion-exchanged column. Structure characterization and in vitro hypoglycemic activity of LBP1 were determined as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: periodate oxidation analysis, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy demonstrated that Astragalus polysaccharide has repeating (1 → 4)-linked backbone with a (1–→ 6)-linked branch every 10 residues, and the APS possessed scavenging activities against hydroxyl radicals and hydrogen peroxide, and showed chelating effect on ferrous ions.
