polysaccharide obtained from corn silk (PCS2). PCS2 was isolated and the physicochemical
properties were characterized. The hypoglycemic effects were determined using the high-fat
diet and streptozocin induced type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) insulin resistance mice. The
results showed that PCS2 was a heteropolysaccharide with the average molecular weight of
45.5 kDa. PCS2 was composed of d-galactose, d-mannose, d-(+)-glucose, d-(+)-xylose, l …
