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...

Phellinus linteus is a fungus distributed throughout Japan, Korea and China. Boiled watersoluble extracts from P. linteus (PLW) have shown anti-tumor and immunomodulatory properties in experiments done by intraperitoneal treatment, or in in vitro cell cultures. This is the first investigation on how oral administration of PLW influences immune responses. Here, we established immunodeficient mice by mitomycin C (MMC) and then researched how PLW influenced plaque-forming cell (PFC) production and populations of cytokine [interferon-(IFNg-)...

Chemical characteristics and immuno-modulating activities of exo-biopolymers produced by Grifola frondosa during submerged fermentation process Byung-Keun Yang, Young-Ah Gu, Yong-Tae Jeong, Hun Jeong, Chi-Hyun Song Abstract The immune-modulating activities and chemical characteristics of exo-biopolymer (EX-GF) produced by a submerged mycelial culture of Maitake (Grifola frondosa) were studied. The EX-GF was fractionated into EX-GF-Fr.1, II, and III by Sephadex G-100 gel chromatography. Anti-complementary activity of EX-GF-Fr. III was highest...
