Protective Effect of a Highly Enriched Nacre-Derived Neutral Polysaccharide Fraction on D-Galactose-Induced Pancreatic Dysfunction

Nacre, the iridescent inner layer of mollusk shells, has long been traditionally used in medicine. While we have previously demonstrated its anti-aging effects on muscle and skin, its impact on pancreatic dysfunction and glucose metabolism remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to isolate and iden...
