Structural Characteristics and Antioxidative Capability of the Soluble Polysaccharides Present in Dictyophora indusiata (Vent. Ex Pers.) Fish Phallaceae

Figure 2

The scheme showing the hypothesis to be confirmed by the experiment. The extract of D. indusiata exhibits potent hypolipidemic (i), anti-bacterial (ii), anti-agglutination (iii), immune-ehancing (iv), anticancer (v), anti-inflammatory (vi) and antioxidative (vii) bioactivities. We hypothesize that the bioactivities (iv)–(vi) are relevantly affected by the antioxidative capability, which in turn would be closely related with the soluble polysaccharides present in D. indusiata and its monosaccharide profiles.
