Journal ArticleDOI
Biological activities and potential health benefit effects of polysaccharides isolated from Lycium barbarum L.
TL;DR: The purpose of the present review is to summarize previous and current references regarding biological activities as well as potential health benefits of L. barbarum polysaccharides.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization and hypoglycemic effect of a polysaccharide extracted from the fruit of Lycium barbarum L.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Goji berry fruit (Lycium spp.): antioxidant compound fingerprint and bioactivity evaluation
Dario Donno,Gabriele Loris Beccaro,Maria Gabriella Mellano,Alessandro Kim Cerutti,Giancarlo Bounous +4 more
TL;DR: Goji berry was identified as a rich source of antioxidant compounds, with health-promoting properties comparable with other common fruit species, and may be useful to better understand the nutraceutical traits of this species recently considered as functional food.
Journal ArticleDOI
An evidence-based update on the pharmacological activities and possible molecular targets of Lycium barbarum polysaccharides.
Jiang Cheng,Zhi Wei Zhou,Hui Ping Sheng,Lan Jie He,Xue Wen Fan,Zhi Xu He,Tao Sun,Xueji Zhang,Ruan Jin Zhao,Ling Gu,Chuanhai Cao,Shu-Feng Zhou +11 more
TL;DR: There is increasing evidence from preclinical and clinical studies supporting the therapeutic and health-promoting effects of LBPs, but further mechanistic and clinical Studies are warranted to establish the dose–response relationships and safety profiles of LBP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lycium barbarum polysaccharides: Extraction, purification, structural characterisation and evidence about hypoglycaemic and hypolipidaemic effects. A review.
Alessandra Masci,Simone Carradori,Maria Antonietta Casadei,Patrizia Paolicelli,Stefania Petralito,Rino Ragno,Stefania Cesa +6 more
TL;DR: The evidence suggests that these purified components of the Goji berry may be potentially useful as adjuvants in the treatment of diabetes and its correlated illnesses.

Journal ArticleDOI
Warfarin overdose due to the possible effects of Lycium barbarum L.
TL;DR: An 80-year-old Chinese woman on chronic stable dose of warfarin who experienced two episodes of an elevated international normalized ratio (INR) after drinking herbal tea containing Lycium barbarum L. barbarum may be a crucial part in the management of anticoagulation in this locality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protective effect of Lycium barbarum on doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity.
TL;DR: Pretreatment with LB significantly prevented the loss of myofibrils and improved the heart function of the DOX‐treated rats as evidenced from lower mortality, normalization of antioxidative activity and serum AST and CK, as well as improving arrhythmias and conduction abnormalities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Far infrared-assisted extraction followed by capillary electrophoresis for the determination of bioactive constituents in the leaves of Lycium barbarum Linn.
Haotian Duan,Yi Chen,Gang Chen +2 more
TL;DR: A method based on capillary electrophoresis with amperometric detection and far infrared-assisted extraction has been developed for the determination of rutin, gentisic acid, and quercetin in the leaves of Lycium barbarum Linn.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lycium barbarum glycoconjugates: effect on human skin and cultured dermal fibroblasts.
TL;DR: It was found that one of L. barbarum glycoconjugates, the LbGp5, promoted the survival of human fibroblasts cultured in suboptimal conditions, and these cultures also contained higher levels of the MMP-1 substrate--collagen type I.
Journal Article
[Observation of the effects of LAK/IL-2 therapy combining with Lycium barbarum polysaccharides in the treatment of 75 cancer patients].
Guangwen Cao,Yang Wg,Du P +2 more
TL;DR: LAK/IL-2 plus LBP treatment led to more marked increase in NK and LAK cell activity than LAK/ IL-2 without LBP, indicating that LBP can be used as an adjuvant in the biotherapy of cancer.
