The protectant activity of pectic polysaccharides derived from various plants
was studied on Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast-like fungi, human blood
platelets and leukocytes, and the antihemolytic action of the same compounds
was studied on red blood cells. The feasibility of cryopreservation of
biological objects in the environment of pectic polysaccharide- containing
cryoprotectant solutions was demonstrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
