“…The monosaccharide compositions of these polysaccharides mainly include mannose (Man), rhamnose (Rha), glucose (Glc), galactose (Gal), xylose (Xyl), arabinose (Ara), fucose (Fuc), fructose (Fru), and ribose (Rib), and only a small fraction of APS contains glucuronic acid (GlcA) and galacturonic acid (GalA) [ 12 ]. Pharmacological studies revealed that APS had anti-atherosclerosis [ 13 , 14 ], anti-inflammatory [ 15 , 16 , 17 ], anti-diabetes [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ], antioxidative [ 22 , 23 , 24 ], immunomodulatory [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ], antitumor [ 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ], and antiviral [ 33 , 34 , 35 ] effects. Although the pharmacological effects of APS have been extensively studied, most of them focus on immune modulating, antitumor and anti-diabetes.…”
