7. Pterocarpin
8. Trifolirhizin

Chemical constituents(1758)
1. Betaine
2. β-sitosterol
3. Linoleic acid
4. Physalien
5. Cryptoxanthin
6. Atropine
7. Hyoscyamine
8. Scopoletin
9. Amino acids
10. Physalein
11. Zeaxanthin
12. Dipalmitate
13. Carotene
14. Etc.

Epidemiologically, wolfberry also processed anti oxidant(1763)(1762) and anti inflammatory(1765)(1764), anti insulin resistance(1760)(1761), anti depression(1767), sleep disorder(1768), anti stress(1768), anti mental deficits(1768) and anti metabolic syndrome(1766), through its enhanced carbohydrate(1770), lipid(1766) and other metabolic(1766) mechanisms, including fasting glucose(1770), hypertensive(1771)(1772), anti hyperglycaemic(1769)(1770)(1774), anti hyperlipidemic(1773)(1774), weight gain(1770), obesity,........ of which induced protective effects against the development of diabetes(1775)(1776) and cardiovascular disease(1777)(1751)(1778).
