This review highlights extraction methods and hypoglycemic effects of polysaccharides in Eucommia ulmoides, suggesting their potential in addressing diabetes.
Key Points
Eucommia ulmoides polysaccharides show effectiveness in lowering blood sugar and relieving insulin resistance in diabetes models.
Modern pharmacological studies reveal that the polysaccharides from EU are primary bio-active components linked to multiple bio-activities.
Extraction, isolation, and purification methods significantly impact the content and biological activity of Eucommia ulmoides polysaccharides.
The review aims to support further research and product development based on the structural characteristics and hypoglycemic mechanisms of EUP.
