Hepatoprotective Effect of Syringic Acid and Vanillic Acid on Concanavalin A-Induced Liver Injury Ayano ITOH, Katsuhiro ISODA, Masuo KONDOH,  Masaya KAWASE, Masakazu KOBAYASHI, Makoto TAMESADA, and Kiyohito YAGI   The edible mushroom Lentinula edodes (shiitake) contains many bioactive compounds. In the present study, we cultivated L. edodes mycelia ( Shiitake ) in solid medium and examined the hot-water extract (L.E.M.) for its suppressive effect on concanavalin A (ConA)-induced liver injury in mice. ConA injection into the tail vein caused a great in­crease in the...
