Summary: | “Nine Steaming Nine Sun-Drying” Polygonti rhizome has been used as valuable tonic health-care products for thousands of years. This research aimed to determine the correlations between the structure and anti-diabetic activities of three novel polysaccharides isolated from the raw and “Nine Steaming Nine Sun-Drying” Polygonti rhizome, with PRP-R from the raw ones and PRP-9Z and PRP-9A from the steamed ones. Structures of the isolated polysaccharides were determined by IR and NMR spectra, as well as monosaccharide composition and methylation analysis. In vitro assays indicated that PRP-9Z could improve the glucose consumptions more effectively than PRP-R and PRP-9A via Akt/GSK3β insulin signal pathway by western blotting analysis. In vivo assays indicated PRP-9Z could improve the glucose tolerance in the BKS-db mice. Histopathological assay demonstrated that PRP-9Z effectively reduced the damage of the kidney and liver. The above results indicated that PRP-9Z from “Nine Steaming Nine Sun-Drying” Polygonti rhizome showed significant anti-diabetic properties, which indicated that PRP-9Z with higher content of →1)-β-Frup-(2→ was more active than PRP-R with higher →1,6)-β-Fruf-(2→ and PRP-9A with higher →4)-β-Galp(1→. |
