Polysaccharides from steam‐processed Polygonatum cyrtonema Hua protect against d‐galactose‐induced oxidative damage in mice by activation of Nrf2/HO‐1 signaling

Overall, the results suggest that PCPS has a stronger effect on the prevention of oxidative damage by activating Nrf2/HO-1 antioxidant signaling. This study demonstrates the role of steam-processed P. cyrtonema rhizome and provides valuable perspective for PCPS as a functional agent. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.
