Abstract:

Objective: To explore the purification of Russula polysaccharide and its role of lowering glucose and lipid. Methods: Crude polysaccharide was extracted from Russula fruit bodies through soaking extraction method in hot water and purified through ion-exchange chromatography and gel chromatography. The mice model with diabetes and hyperlipidemia was established through the injection of alloxan and the feeding of high-fat food. The model mice were administrated with Russula polysaccharide. Blood glucose and blood lipid in model mice with diabetes and hyperlipidemia were evaluated. Results: GLU, TC, TG and LDL-C exhibited a significant decrease (P <0.01) in mice with the administration of Russula polysaccharide in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion: Russula polysaccharide has excellent functions in lowering blood glucose and lipid levels.

Key words: Russula polysaccharide, blood glucose, blood lipid
