Structural Characterization and In Vivo Gastric Mucosal Protective Activity of a Polysaccharide from Laoxianghuang (Fermented Finger Citron) in Mice
In an ethanol-induced acute gastric ulcer mouse model, PFCP-2-1 exhibited significant mucosal protection by elevating prostaglandin E2, transforming growth factor-α, and mucin 5AC levels and upregulating Occludin and zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) expression, suggesting its potential for further development as a functional...
