An index of polysaccharide names in pinyin is appended at the end. Each polysaccharide in the Specific Sections is organized by categories such as source, physicochemical properties, pharmacological effects, clinical applications, and references.
Source: This primarily refers to the plant sources of the polysaccharides, listing the family and genus of the plants, as well as the English names of both the plants and the polysaccharide components.
Physicochemical Properties: This section lists the extraction, separation, purification, and identification of the polysaccharides, as well as their physicochemical properties.
Pharmacological Effects: Based on literature reports, this section includes the pharmacological effects and mechanisms of experimental studies on the polysaccharide components. Toxicity tests are listed at the end.
Clinical Applications: Based on literature, this section lists the clinical applications of the polysaccharide components. Adverse reactions are listed at the end. For some polysaccharides, no clinical application data is available, and this section is omitted.
