中文摘要:

      生物多糖是一类从生物体中提取出来的具有生理活性的物质, 在植物、动物、微生物等中都有存在。植物多糖是研究最为广泛的一种多糖类物质, 具有调节免疫力、抗肿瘤、抗衰老、降血糖、抗癌、抗炎等多种生理功能, 毒副作用低。衰老是生物体随时间推移不断发展的过程, 其生理功能逐步减弱, 最终导致机体发生疾病甚至死亡。植物多糖对抗衰老的功效具有重要意义, 目前越来越多的研究聚焦在其抗衰老方面。本文对近年来植物多糖抗衰老研究进行了综述, 重点关注了其作用机制以及涉及到的信号通路。

英文摘要:

      Biological polysaccharide is a kind of material with physiological activity extracted from organisms, which exists in plants, animals, microorganisms and so on. Plant polysaccharide is one of the most widely studied polysaccharides, which has many physiological functions, including immune regulation, anti-tumor, anti-aging, hypoglycemic, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory and low toxicity. Aging is a process in which organisms develop with time, and their physiological functions gradually weaken, eventually leading to diseases and even death. The anti-aging effect of plant polysaccharides is of great significance. At present, more and more research focuses on its anti-aging activity. This paper reviewed the anti-aging researches of plant polysaccharides in recent years, mainly focused on theirs action mechanism and signal pathways involved.
