Review explores how polysaccharide from a Chinese herb can help prevent and manage conditions like type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer's by restoring the intestinal barrier. Potential for treating complex diseases and improving clinical outcomes.
PSP, a polysaccharide extracted from natural sources, shows potential as an antidepressant by regulating microglial activity and neuroinflammatory pathways in mice under chronic restraint stress. This study highlights the importance of PSP in treating depression.
Saponins in show anti-aging effects in nematodes through SKN-1 pathway, reducing ROS levels and up-regulating antioxidant genes. Potential clinical interventions against aging.
Polygonatum sibiricum polysaccharide (PSP) improves gut health, reduces inflammation, and may alleviate cognitive impairment by modulating gut-brain axis communication. Important for understanding and treating neurological diseases.
Scientists studied Polygonatum sibiricum polysaccharide (PSP) for its potential in cancer treatment due to its diverse pharmacological activities. PSP shows promise as an immunomodulatory, antitumor, antioxidant, and anti-aging agent, but further research is needed to understand its complex mechanisms.
Researchers extracted and analyzed Polygonatum sibiricum polysaccharide (PSP) for its potential benefits in diabetes treatment. PSP inhibits enzymes, improves insulin sensitivity, and repairs tissue damage in diabetic mice. PSP shows promise as a natural therapeutic agent for type II diabetes.
PSRwe from Polygonatum sibiricum may prevent obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Further research needed to assess its potential benefits on fat accumulation and liver health.
Liquiritigenin inhibits HSP90-mediated chaperone-mediated autophagy, reducing BC cell growth and invasion. Important for potential breast cancer treatment.
Researchers studied the potential benefits of Polygonatum sibiricum polysaccharide (PSP) in treating diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) in mice. Results may lead to new treatments for this common condition in diabetic individuals.
Polygonatum sibiricum saponins (PSS) improved symptoms and pathology in colitis mice induced with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). PSS restored intestinal microbial balance, reduced pathogenic bacteria, and increased beneficial bacteria, suggesting its potential therapeutic role in ulcerative colitis.
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.
A complex extract of PS and NS improves menopause symptoms in rats without side effects like endometriosis. It increases estrogen receptors and improves blood-lipid metabolism and osteoporosis.
Researchers found that older rhizomes of a medicinal plant contain higher levels of phloretin, linoleic acid, and α-linolenic acid, contributing to an anti-obesity effect. Genetic pathways controlling metabolite accumulation were identified, providing insights for future research.
Researchers studied the effects of Polygonum sibiricum polysaccharides (PSP), a component of a traditional Chinese medicine, on mice with depression caused by chronic mild stress. The study aimed to determine if PSP worked through the microbiota-gut-brain (MGB) axis. Mice treated with fecal microbiota transplantation from PSP-treated mice exhibited improved depressive behaviors and increased levels of neurotransmitters 5-hydroxytryptamine and norepinephrine while reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines and corticosterone. Administration of PSP and fecal microbiota transplantation also regulated signaling pathways, indicating that PSP exerts its antidepressant effects through the MGB axis.
This study found that administration of a traditional Chinese medicine called polygonatum sibiricum (PS) for 5 months effectively improved cognitive function in aging rats. PS improved the Nissl body state in the cortex and hippocampus, as well as synaptic structure and the number of synapses. PS also up-regulated the expression of BDNF-TrkB, which is important for synaptic plasticity. The study suggests that PS has the potential to be developed as a functional food for improving neurological function and anti-aging in the elderly.
The study investigated the mechanisms behind the beneficial effects of a Chinese medicine tonic called polysaccharides (PSP) on Parkinson's disease (PD). The researchers found that PSP improved locomotor activity and protected dopaminergic neurons in a mouse model of PD. PSP also reduced oxidative stress and neuronal apoptosis, and activated signaling pathways that led to antiapoptotic and antioxidative effects. The study suggests that PSP could be a promising therapy for PD. PSP was also found to have no chronic toxicity in mice.
