Effects of polysaccharide from the fruiting bodies of Auricularia auricular on glucose metabolism in 60Co-γ-radiated mice

Radiation is known to be associated with pathology of various human diseases. This study has focused on the effect of radiation on glucose homeostasis with regard to metabolic function of liver and pancreas and the effect of polysaccharide from the fruiting bodies of Auricularia auricular (SNAAP) on glucose metabolism. The 60Co-γ-radiated mice displayed destroyed redox equilibrium, accompanied by increased blood glucose accumulation, decreased...
