Anti-fat deposition and antioxidant effects of haw pectic oligosaccharide in the liver of high-fat-fed mice

Pectin and its acidic oligosaccharide derivatives are believed to have many potential applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. In this article, we have investigated the effects of haw pectic oligosaccharide (HPOS) on hyperlipidemia (HL) and oxidative stress in mice induced by a high-fat diet. The results showed that HPOS significantly suppressed the fat deposition in the liver of HL mice. In addition, it significantly increased...
