Researchers at Fudan University in Shanghai investigated the effects of Bupleurum polysaccharides isolated from Bupleurum smithii, an herb used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), on diabetic kidney injury. They reported their findings in an article published in the Chinese Journal of Natural Medicines.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that oral administration of Bupleurum polysaccharides can prevent renal injury caused by diabetes.
