Ultrasonic degradation of Polygonatum cyrtonema polysaccharide alters physical and biological properties without changing structure, enhancing bioactivity for GLP-1 secretion, antioxidant, and enzyme inhibition. Controlled ultrasound can improve PCP as a functional agent.
Study: KGM and PCP supplement combo in T2DM mice on liquid diet improves postprandial glucose, long-term glucose metabolism. Benefits include gut health, weight, and liver function.
Researchers studied the effects of Hua on postpartum depression in rats. Hua can regulate liver, Qi, heart, blood, lungs, kidneys, and treat emotional diseases. It could potentially be a natural remedy for postpartum depression.
PCP-80% activates immune response in cells, leading to increased protein expression and release of molecules linked to inflammation. It also affects gene expression through various signaling pathways. This suggests that PCP-80% can effectively modulate immune response in macrophages.
Study on the synthesis of active components in Polygonati Rhizoma found differentially expressed genes and transcription factors related to polysaccharides and saponins. Provides a transcriptome dataset and lays foundation for improving active component content using molecular methods.
The researchers developed an injectable hydrogel using fructo-oligosaccharides derived from Polygonatum Cyrtonema Hua. It showed improved wound healing in diabetic mice and has potential for clinical use.
Topping the aerial part of Polygonatum cyrtonema increases rhizome yield and saponin content. The stem, leaves, and flowers have strong antioxidant and hypoglycemic activities, along with high polyphenol, flavonoid, protein, and amino acid content. This research suggests the potential for developing these parts for various applications.
This study explores the potential therapeutic properties of crude polysaccharides extracted from Hua (PCPs). Understanding their benefits could inform future medical and culinary applications of this traditional Chinese herb, providing opportunities for research and development in healthcare and nutrition.
P. cyrtonema Hua is used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat depression syndrome. The study examines the effects of its active component, PSP, on PTSD and its mechanisms. Results are unknown.
In this study, researchers investigated the effects of Polygonatum cyrtonema Hua polysaccharide (PCP) on muscle atrophy caused by chemotherapy. They found that PCP, a compound derived from Polygonati Rhizoma herb, significantly reduced muscle loss and muscle fiber atrophy in mice. It also suppressed the decrease in immunoglobulin levels and the increase in pro-inflammatory factor interleukin-6 (IL-6). Proteomic analysis identified two primary targets of PCP: diacylglycerol kinase (DGKζ) and cathepsin L (CTSL). The study suggests that PCP regulates the autophagy-lysosome and ubiquitin-proteasome systems, providing a potential treatment for chemotherapy-induced muscle atrophy.
