CRUDE EXOPOLYSACCHARIDES PRODUCED FROM TREMELLA FUCIFORMIS MYCELLIUM HAVING HYPOGLYCEMIC ACTIVITY AND PREPARATION METHOD THEREOF

摘要

This invention relates to the crude exopolysaccharides produced from Tremella fuciformis mycellium having hypoglycemic activity and preparation method thereof. In case type II diabetic model mice (ob/ob) are, treated with the exopolysaccharides produced from Tremella fuciformis mycellium, the plasma glucose levels in them are substantially reduced. In addition, the exopolysaccharides of this invention has excellent curative value on hyperlipidemia by reducing serum lipid levels. Thus, the exopolysaccharides of this invention are able to control the plasma glucose levels of the diabetic patients and improve hyperlipidemia.
