A rhamnogalacturonan I-enriched pectic polysaccharide from alfalfa and its protective effects against oxidative stress in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Alfalfa polysaccharides (APs) have attracted considerable interest for their reported antioxidant activities; however, chemically defined AP fractions remain insufficiently characterized, and their biological activities have rarely been evaluated in whole-organism oxidative-stress models. In this study, a major polysac...
