Extracellular polysaccharopeptides (ePSP) from turkey tail were found to significantly reduce blood sugar levels in diabetic rats by improving liver function and altering liver enzymes. The highest dose of ePSP also substantially decreased liver fat and cholesterol and could be a natural option for managing type 2 diabetes, working effectively without relying on traditional diabetes medications.
