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

Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of the Lycium barbarum polysaccharides administration on blood lipid metabolism and oxidative stress of mice fed high-fat diet in vivo
TL;DR: This study revealed that HF diet induced oxidative stress and provided novel evidence regarding the link between high dietary fat and increased risk of degenerative diseases and showed a noticeable inhibition against lipid oxidation induced by free radicals caused by HF diet intake.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidative activity of polysaccharide fractions isolated from Lycium barbarum Linnaeus.
TL;DR: With the exception of CE and DDP, most polysaccharides were effective in scavenging DPPH and ABTS(.)+ free radicals, superoxide anion and hydroxyl radical at 1000 microg/mL.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of lycium barbarum polysaccharide on human hepatoma QGY7703 cells: Inhibition of proliferation and induction of apoptosis
TL;DR: The study suggests that the induction of cell cycle arrest and the increase of intracellular calcium in apoptotic system may participate in the antiproliferative activity of LBP in QGY7703 cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneous determination of phenolic acids and flavonoids in Lycium barbarum Linnaeus by HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS.
TL;DR: A high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection-mass spectrometry method with electrospray ionization mode (HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS) was developed for simultaneous determination of phenolic acids and flavonoids in fruits of Lycium barbarum Linnaeus, a widely used traditional Chinese herb possessing vital biological activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantification of zeaxanthin dipalmitate and total carotenoids in Lycium fruits (Fructus Lycii).
TL;DR: This study is the first systematic quantification of the carotenoids in the fruits of different Lycium species, demonstrating that these methods are reliable and facile techniques for rapid analysis of carotanoids for crude drug and plant-derived food supplements.
