Submerged culture mycelium and broth of Grifola frondosa improve glycemic responses in diabetic rats. Lo HC, Hsu TH, Chen CY. Department of Medical Education and Research, Changhua Christian Hospital, Changhua, Taiwan. Grifola frondosa ( maitake ), an edible fungus with a large fruiting body and overlapping caps, has been demonstrated to be a natural source of health-promoting substances, mainly due to its polysaccharides β-glucan. By using male Wistar rats injected with saline (normal rats) or nicotinamide plus streptozotocin (diabetic...

Medicinal Value of the Caterpillar Fungi Species of the Genus Cordyceps (Fr.) Link (Ascomycetes). A Review John Holliday* & Matt Cleaver ABSTRACT: This review looks in depth at the history and medicinal value of the Cordyceps species, especially C. sinensis. The C. sinensis medicinal species, with a long history of use, has only been found growing from the head of one type of subterranean caterpillar, at high altitudes, in the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau. Because of this highly specific growth environment and restricted geographical...
