Abstract in brief

  • This study examined the structure and activities of three polysaccharides (APS1, APS2, APS3) from Medicago sativa (alfalfa) stems, as well as two selenium-modified versions (SeAPS2 and SeAPS3), analyzing their molecular weight, composition, and bonding patterns.
  • The selenium-modified polysaccharides (SeAPS2 and SeAPS3) contained higher selenium levels and showed enhanced surface characteristics and thermal stability compared to natural polysaccharides.
  • Both natural and selenium-modified polysaccharides demonstrated antioxidant and neuroprotective activities, with the selenium-modified versions showing significantly greater effects in both areas.
