Abstract
as compared to the LPS model group. Moreover, mice administered with polysaccharide showed enhanced production of short chain fatty acids by gut microbiota in the lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory mice. Our results suggested that the water-soluble polysaccharide from purple sweet potato roots could be utilized as a novel anti-inflammatory agent.
