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

Studies on the active polysaccharides from Lycium barbarum L
TL;DR: Polysaccharides with main chain of alpha-(1-->4)-D-polygalacturonans showed stronger immunomodulation activity, and were shown to enhance splenocyte proliferation induced by ConA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental study on the enhancement of murine splenic lymphocyte proliferation by Lycium barbarum glycopeptide.
Guang Du,Lu Liu,Jianguo Fang +2 more
TL;DR: Both samples (A and B) had strong immunocompetence and combined use of LBG and ConA had synergic effects, which revealed that both LBG could enhance the murine splenic lymphocyte proliferative reaction.
Journal Article
Studies on the glycoconjugates and glycans from Lycium barbarum L in inhibiting low density lipoprotein (LDL) peroxidation
TL;DR: The glycoconjugate LbGp5 showed the best effect on inhibiting LDL peroxidatin while their glycans showed no effects on inhibition of low density lipoprotein peroxidation.
Journal Article
The protective effects of total flavonoids from Lycium Barbarum L. on lipid peroxidation of liver mitochondria and red blood cell in rats
TL;DR: It was observed by scan electron microscope, that the shape of RBC in the Fe2+ system was damaged significantly and the shape was remained with the addition of TFL, and the fluidity of mitochondria membrane was also protected effectively.
