A polysaccharide from mycelia of Metarhizium taii: Structural characterization, inhibition on α-glucosidase and improvement of insulin resistance in HepG2 cells

Optimization of ultrasonic-assisted extraction of Platycodon grandiflorum polysaccharides and evaluation of its structural, antioxidant and hypoglycemic activity

“…Insulin resistance (IR) involves a decrease in the body’s sensitivity and responsiveness to insulin, resulting in reduced effectiveness of insulin in facilitating glucose uptake and utilization in peripheral tissues [34] . Specifically, liver tissue displays indicators of insulin resistance, marked by impaired glucose utilization and reduced glycogen synthesis [35] .…”
