Aloe vera-derived glucomannan inhibits foam cell formation and mitigates atherosclerosis by modulating the gut-liver axis to improve cholesterol metabolism and inflammation, thereby reducing arterial plaque formation.
Gastritis is a common disease characterized by gastric ulcers and severe bleeding.
Two novel pectic polysaccharides (FDP and DDP) from fresh/dried Dendrobium officinale prevent alcohol-induced liver injury by attenuating oxidant stress and inflammatory cytokine response. “Fresh” pectin exhibits more promising hepatoprotection.
In this study, a rapid and sensitive UHPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS method was established to characterize and differentiate saponin profiles in the leaves of Ilex cochinchinensis, Ilex annamensis, and Ilex rotunda collected in Vietnam.
The study confirmed the antithrombotic efficacy of Fagonia arabica through saponin identification and LC-MS/MS profiling. Biological assays and in silico studies supported its activity, and liposomal encapsulation improved efficacy at lower doses.
