High relevanceHYPOGLYCEMIC EXOPOLYSACCHARIDES FROM TREMELLA FUCIFORMIS MYCELLIUM AND A PREPARATION METHOD THEREOF
Tremella fuciformis
Key points
- An exopolysaccharide obtained from Tremella fuciformis mycelium is provided to lower glucose content in plasma significantly and reduce lipid in blood when administered to a type 2 diabetic mouse, thereby controlling blood sugar of a diabetic patient and improving hyperlipidemia caused by obesity
- An exopolysaccharide having the anti-diabetic activity is isolated from mycelial culture broth of Tremella fuciformis and includes 87-92% of carbohydrate and 8-13% of protein, wherein main saccharides of the carbohydrate consists of 54-59% of mannose, 19-24% of xylose and 17-22% of fucose
- An anti-diabetic food composition or a food composition for improving hyperlipidemia comprises the exopolysaccharide as an effective ingredient

Abstract
An exopolysaccharide obtained from Tremella fuciformis mycelium is provided to lower glucose content in plasma significantly and reduce lipid in blood when administered to a type 2 diabetic mouse, thereby controlling blood sugar of a diabetic patient and improving hyperlipidemia caused by obesity. An exopolysaccharide having the anti-diabetic activity is isolated from mycelial culture broth of Tremella fuciformis and includes 87-92% of carbohydrate and 8-13% of protein, wherein main saccharides of the carbohydrate consists of 54-59% of mannose, 19-24% of xylose and 17-22% of fucose. An anti-diabetic food composition or a food composition for improving hyperlipidemia comprises the exopolysaccharide as an effective ingredient.
