Suppression of D-galactosamine-induced liver injury by mushrooms in rats Lee EW, He P, Kawagishi H, Sugiyama K. Department of Applied Biochemistry, Faculty of Agriculture, Shizuoka University, Japan. Six species of edible mushroom were found to suppress D-galactosamine-induced enhancement of plasma alanine and aspartate aminotransferase activities when powdered mushrooms were added to the diet (5%) and fed to rats for 2 wk. Grifola frondosa ( maitake ) exhibited the most potent effect in a dose-dependent manner. A significant effect was...

Induction of apoptosis in human prostatic cancer cells with β-glucan (Maitake mushroom polysaccharide) Fullerton SA, Samadi AA, Tortorelis DG, Choudhury MS, Mallouh C, Tazaki H, Konno S. Department of Urology, New York Medical College PURPOSE: To explore more effective treatment for hormone-refractory prostate cancer, we investigated the potential antitumor effect of β-glucan, a polysaccharide of the Maitake mushroom, on prostatic cancer cells in vitro. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Human prostate cancer PC-3 cells were treated with various...

Effects of maitake (Grifola frondosa) polysaccharide on collagen-induced arthritis in mice Shigesue K, Kodama N, Nanba H. Department of Microbial Chemistry, Kobe Pharmaceutical University We recently reported the anti-hepatitis effect of a polysaccharide, designated as the D-fraction, extracted from maitake. Its effect includes immuno-regulating activities. We investigated the effect of the glucan in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). The D-fraction was administered to CIA mice for 30 consecutive days. Arthritis development was observed from...
