The pharmacological activity of wheat bran polysaccharides

Antitussive and bronchodilatory effects of Lythrum salicaria polysaccharide-polyphenolic conjugate

“…It seems that relatively high content of polyphenolics in Ls conjugate could be responsible for observed bronchodilatory effect, which exceeded relaxation of airways smooth muscle induced by classic bronchodilating drug salbutamol. These results corresponded with finding of Prisenžňáková et al [36] pointed on bronchodilatory effect of wheat bran polysaccharide fraction with relatively high polyphenolic content. Furthermore, Fraňová et al [37] confirmed an ability of different polyphenols to inhibit histamine and acetylcholine-induced contraction of airways smooth muscle under the conditions of allergic inflammation.…”

Characterization and biological activity of Solidago canadensis complex

“…It seems that polyphenolic compound could be responsible for observed bronchodilation. Similar results ware reported on polyphenolic-polysaccharide complexes isolated from wheat bran [35].…”

Blasting extrusion processing: The increase of soluble dietary fiber content and extraction of soluble-fiber polysaccharides from wheat bran

“…Therefore, the secondary purpose of this study was to extract and purify water-soluble polysaccharides (WBP) from wheat bran based SDF treated with BEP. In literature, some water-soluble saccharides achieved from wheat bran, such as arabinoxylans (Hromádková, Paulsen, Polovka, Košťálová, & Ebringerová, 2013;Malunga & Beta, 2015;Prisenžň áková, Nosáľová, Hromádková, & Ebringerová, 2010;Yang et al, 2013), and feruloyl oligosaccharides (Yuan, Wang, & Yao, 2006), display antioxidant activities at different degrees. Therefore, the final purpose of this study was to characterize antioxidant activities of WBP by different assays.…”
