MDG-1, a water-soluble polysaccharide extracted from Ophiopogon japonicus, has potent hypoglycemic and weight control effects. We investigated the impact of MDG-1 on body weight, indirect calorimetry, body composition, plasma biochemical indices and obesity-related mitochondrial activity in
Most plant polysaccharides cannot be digested and utilized by host enzymes, and must be subjected to microbial fermentation before being assimilated by the host. MDG-1, a water-soluble β-d-fructan extracted from the roots of Ophiopogon japonicus, has potent anti-obesity and hypoglycemic effects.
For understanding the effect of MDG-1, a water-soluble β-D-fructan polysaccharide from Ophiopogon japonicas, on intestinal microecological balance, especially on the changes of lactobacillus, sixty 8-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were given a high-fat diet for six weeks and were also gavaged with
Methylophiopogonanone A (MO-A), a homoisoflavonoid extracted from Ophiopogon japonicus, has been shown to attenuate myocardial apoptosis and improve cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. However, the hypolipidemic effects remain unknown. This study was performed to investigate a potential
MDG-1, a β-D-fructan polysaccharide extracted from the roots of Ophiopogon japonicus, had preventive effect against obesity and hyperlipidemia in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity mice. Interestingly, MDG-1, as an inulin-type fructan, is poorly absorbed and its possible mechanism against lipid
The herb dwarf lilyturf tube (Maidong, Ophiopogonis Radix) is widely used in Chinese Traditional Medicine to manage diabetes and its complications. However, the role of Maidong polysaccharide extract (MPE) in pancreatic β-cell function is unclear. Here, we investigated whether MPE protects β-cell
Gut dysbiosis is believed to play a critical role in the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases, including obesity. Ophiopogonin D (OP-D), a steroidal glycoside and an active component extracted from the root of the plant Ophiopogon japonicus (also known as radix ophiopogonis), can regulate multiple
OBJECTIVE
Shengmai San (SMS), prepared from Panax ginseng, Ophiopogon japonicus, and Schisandra chinensisin, has been widely used to treat ischemic disease. In this study, we investigated whether SMS may exert a beneficial effect in diabetic cardiomyopathy through improvement of mitochondrial lipid
Hyperlipidemia is a serious epidemic disease caused by lipid metabolism disorder, which is harmful to human health. MDG-1, a β-d-fructan polysaccharide extracted from Ophiopogon japonicus, has been shown to improve abnormal blood lipid levels and alleviate diabetes. However, the underlying mechanism
O. japonicus and L. spicata var. prolifera are distinguished as sources of highly promising yin-tonifying medicinals, namely Ophiopogonis Radix and Liriopes Radix. Liriopes Radix is generally medicinally used as a substitute for Ophiopogonis Radix in various prescriptions due to their extremely
Hyperlipidemia is a chronic metabolic disorder with systemic complications that is prevalent worldwide. MDG-1, a water-soluble β-d-fructan polysaccharide from Ophiopogon japonicas has potent hypolipidemic and weight-control effects. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of MDG-1 on
