Inflammation coupled with oxidative stress contribute to the pathogenicity of various clinical disorders. Oxidative stress arises from an imbalance between production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant defense system, leading to cellular damages. The study investigated the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of polysaccharides isolated from seed-coat mucilage.

- - Oxidative stress can damage cells and lead to serious chronic diseases, prompting the use of antioxidant therapies, especially oligosaccharides derived from cress seed mucilage, to combat these issues.
- - In experiments with mice, oligosaccharides from fermentation showed significant antioxidant activity, effectively scavenging free radicals and improving liver functions after chromium(VI)-induced oxidative stress.
- - Treatment with these oligosaccharides not only reduced liver damage and DNA fragmentation caused by chromium exposure but also improved overall liver health indicators, suggesting a protective effect against oxidative stress.
Diabetes mellitus is a heterogeneous metabolic disorder that poses significant health and economic challenges across the globe. Polysaccharides, found abundantly in edible plants, hold promise for managing diabetes by reducing blood glucose levels (BGL) and insulin resistance. However, most of these polysaccharides cannot be digested or absorbed directly by the human body.
