Aim -  To investigate the function of Tremella fuciformis polysaccharides (TFPS) in LPS-induced inflammation and oxidative stress of macrophages. Methods. RAW264.7 cells were pretreated with TFPS and then stimulated with 0.1 μg/ml LPS. NFκB, Akt, p38MAPK, MCP-1, and SOD-1 were analyzed by Western blotting. Cell viability was measured using MTT assays. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, real-time PCR, ELISA, and immunofluorescence staining were performed on RAW264.7 cells that were treated with LPS and/or TFPS to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of...

Tremella fuciformis Berk, a popular nutritious mushroom in China, has attracted increasing attention due to its various bioactivities. In the present work, T. fuciformis polysaccharides (TP) were extracted with hot water. It mainly consisted of mannose, as well as 10.77% (w/w) uronic acid. In additional, the anti-photoaging effects of TP were evaluated using a 30-day UV-irradiated animal assay. TP could efficiently reduce the water and collagen losses of the skin, and inhibit the increase of glycosaminoglycans. Moreover, a histopathological study showed that,...

Abstract: Tremella fuciformis Berk (TF) is a common edible and medicinal mushroom, and has long been used in food and in Chinese medicine. It possesses anticancer, anti-inflammation, anti-oxidative, and neuroprotective abilities. Since their cultivation is a problem, TFs in Taiwan are primarily imported from China, which has a problem with pesticide residues. Thus, the question of whether the Taiwan cultivated TFs, T1, and T6 showed similar or even better results than TFs from China (CH) was assessed in the present study. The results of the physicochemical tests of...

Tremella fuciformis (family Tremellaceae, ordem Tremellales, class Basidiomycetes) is probably one of the most beautiful fungi growing in subtropical and tropical areas, or even temperate zones. It was first found in Brazil but has developed to an artificially cultivated species in Taiwan, China and some other countries in Asia (Urben, 2006, 2010). It is clearly associated with Ascomycetes in the field, especially Hypoxylon spp., however, unlike other Tremella mycoparasites in basidiocarps of Basidiomycetes, the real host-relationship of this group is still not...

Tremella polysaccharides (TP) are the major component and activity unit of Tremella. TP have anti-aging effects by regulating  transcription and expression of cell cycle negative regulator P21, anti-oxidation and strengthen immunity (Li 2004). Tremella fuciformis polysaccharide (TFP), has good stability as well as excellent moisturizing effect and antiwrinkle effect. It can improve the skin texture, lower the skin harshness and increase the skin flexibility

  Medicinal Mushrooms  For OPTIMUM HEALTH AND LONGEVITY  Ken Babal, C.N. We all know that vitamin and mineral supplements can augment diets by providing essential nutrients that ward off disease. Likewise, botanicals can help us stay well, and can be used medicinally. There is yet a third category that ranks high for cultivating optimum health and resistance to disease. This is the mushroom category. Mushrooms are members of the fungal family, sometimes referred to as the third kingdom. Being neither plant nor animal, they possess highly unique characteristics that...
