The purpose of this review was to investigate the properties and medicinal applications of L.barbarum. Although there are still many characteristics that need to be studied about this plant, several benefic effects have been reported. Literature shows that there are several compounds in g ojy berry that may prevent oxidant and inflammatory process, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia and obesity. We suggest that this plant should be more researched in order to evaluate the possibility of application in the pharmaceutical industry and to obtain enough information to consider validation for its medicinal use.<\/span><\/p>\n KEYWORDS<\/strong>: Lycium barbarum, oxidative stress, inflammation, weight control, hyperglycemia.<\/span><\/p>\n *This is a literature on the study of goji\u00a0berry and antioxidants .\u00a0You can click here <\/a>to read the full text.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" LYCIUM BARBARUM (GOJI BERRY) AND ITS EFFECTS IN HEALTH Marcela Bueno1, Mariana Ricci Barion1, Sandra Maria Barbalho*1,2, \u00c9len Landgraf Guiuer1,2 1Department of Biochemistry and Pharmacology, School of Medicine, University of Mar\u00edlia, Av.
