“…These results indicate that RPs present high hypolipidaemic activities. Similarly, many saccharides, such as chitin, chitooligosaccharides and polysaccharides, from Enterobacter cloacae Z0206, Enteromorpha prolifera and Porphyra yezoensis have been reported to present hypolipidaemic activities (Huang et al, ; Qian, Zhou, & Ma, ; Teng, Qian, & Zhou, ). Glycogen, the primary intracellular storable form of glucose in animals, regulates glycogen deposition by stimulating glycogen synthase and suppressing glycogen phosphorylase; therefore, glycogen directly reflects insulin activity (Muthulakshmi & Saravanan, ).…”
