Guest guest Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 What is Wolfberry? Wolfberry species are deciduous woody perennial plants. It is the common name for the fruit of two very closely related species: Lycium barbarum and L. chinense. There has been rapid growing attention to wolfberries for their high ranking nutrient value and antioxidant content, leading to a profusion of consumer products. Is wolfberry beneficial to those with Hepatitis? Though none of this research has been confirmed in clinical studies done here in the West, several published studies, mostly from China, have reported medicinal benefits of Lycium barbarum to the liver and the immume system. These studies can be found by their PMID # at the U.S. National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health website: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=PubMed The following is a list of these published studies: Lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP) can effectively prevent Alcoholic Fatty Liver. This may be due to its effects in inhibiting the hepatocyte CYP2E1 expression and prevention of lipid peroxidation. 2007 PMID: 17407712 LBP significantly induced T cell proliferation. Our results suggest that activation of T lymphocytes by LBP may contribute to one of its immuno-enhancement functions 2008 PMID: 18755300 To see more research on how wolfberries are beneficial to the liver visit http://www.healthyhepper.com/wolfberry.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
