The Inducer of the Synthesis of Nerve Growth Factor From Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) Hirokazu Kawagishi, Ph.D., Shoei Furukawa, Ph.D., Cun Zhuang, Ph.D., and Rika Yunoki Abstract Nerve growth factor (NGF) is closely related to Alzheimer’s dementia, and studies have suggested that the disease may be pre­vented or its symptoms may be improved when NGF is given into the brain directly. However, since NGF is a protein it usually can­not pass through the blood-brain barrier. Recently, researchers have targeted on the substances that could pass through the...
