Abstract

Objective: To observe the effect of Phragmites communis polysaccharide on aging mice induced by injections of D-gulactose.

Method: Aging mice were used as experimental objective.

Result: Phragmizes communis polysaccharide could obviously increase the activity of CAT, SOD, GSH-PX in blood, lower the levels of LPO in plasma and the thick liquid made of grinding the tissues of brain and liver, and markedly resist the atrophy of the thymus, spleen and brain tissues of aging mice.

Conclusion: Phragmites communis polysaccharide has good anti-aging actions.
