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.

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

[Experimental research on the role of Lycium barbarum polysaccharide in anti-peroxidation].
TL;DR: The changes in electrical parameters of cell membrane of Xenopus Oocytes were determined using routine microelectrode electrophysiological technique after incubation of the cells in frog Ringer solution containing free radical producing system for 6 hours.
Journal Article
Effects of pure and crude Lycium barbarum polysaccharides on immunopharmacology
TL;DR: Lycium barbarum polysaccharides have the best pharmacological effect when it was the best dose, and especially, LBP-X 10 mg/kg.d had a highly significance difference compared with crude LBP on immune indices in mice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of organophosphorus pesticides in Lycium barbarum by gas chromatography with flame photometric detection.
TL;DR: An analytical method was developed to determine 14 organophosphorus pesticide residues in Lycium barbarum, which is both a botanical medicine and a food, and the identities of the 14 pesticides were confirmed by GC/mass spectrometry detection in the selected-ion monitoring mode.
