[#2013-12] Maitake Su, Chun-Han et al Inhibitory potential of Grifola frondosa

This study has demonstrated that the nonpolar fraction of GF possesses potent anti-a-glucosidase activity, and its inhibitory kinetics is competitive inhibition. It was as good as acarbose in inhibiting starch digestion in vitro. This study also suggests that oleic acid and linoleic acid could be the major active compounds of GF contributing to the potent anti-a-glucosidase activity
