Anti-Obesity Effects of Lentinus edodes on Obese Mice Induced by High Fat Diet

Anti-Obesity Effect of Fructus Pyri Pyrifoliae Extract Fermented by Lactic-Acid Bacteria on Rats

“…Lee et al (2013) studied the anti-obesity effect of soybean curd residue fermented by Monascus pilosus, and reported that it reduced the fat proportion in the liver and prevented generation of reactive oxygen species, thus showing anti-obesity activity. In addition, Lee et al (2014) investigated the anti-obesity effects of Lentinus edodes on obesity induced in mice by a HFD, and concluded that Lentinus edodes is effective for body-weight loss, body-fat reduction and lowering serum lipid level. Most of the pears produced in South Korea are Asian Pears, harvested in Naju, Jeollanam-do, South Korea.…”

Identification of PPAR-activating compounds in herbal and edible plants and fungi from Vietnam

“…In this study, we found out that 12 out of 14 samples contained PPARδ agonistic activity, using our newly developed sensitive and highly selective human reporter gene assays. This high hit rate can possibly be explained by the fact that the samples selected in this study represent medicinal mushrooms and herbs that have been implicated in having anti-obesogenic effects or are used in the treatment of metabolic syndrome, such as Lentinus edodes, Ganoderma, Ilex kaushue, Sophora japonica (Amin et al, 2012;Jung et al, 2011;Lee et al, 2014;Park et al, 2009;Sparg et al, 2004). Lentinus edodes, Ganoderma, and Ilex kaushue extracts, showed potential to reduce mouse body weight and total cholesterol levels, as well as to lower circulating glucose levels in mice (Amin et al, 2012;Lee et al, 2014).…”

“…Medicinal plants including Phyllanthus amarus, Sophora japonica, Nelumbo nucifera, Achyranthes bidentata, Ilex kaushue, Panax notoginseng, Camellia sinensis, have the potential to treat or reduce metabolic syndrome linked to obesity, including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and type 2 diabetes (Adeneye, 2012;Amaechina and Omogbai, 2007;Du et al, 2010;Fan et al, 2012;Hao et al, 2013;Lim, 2014;Oh et al, 2014;Park et al, 2009;Thielecke and Boschmann, 2009;Wu et al, 2013;Yan et al, 2013;Yang et al, 2010). Interestingly, several fungi including Ganoderma lucidum, Agaricus bisporus, Pleurotus ostreatus, and Lentinula edodes also showed similar effects (Deepalakshmi and Mirunalini, 2014;Lee et al, 2014;Mohamed and Farghaly, 2014;Reilly and Lee, 2008). Recently in the medicinal plants Glycyrrhiza foetida and Amorpha fruticose, PPARγ agonists have been found (Weidner et al, 2012).…”

Unrecorded fungi isolated from indoor air of cultivation houses used for field test of a newly bred domestic shiitake cultivar

“…표고(Lentinula edodes)는 담자균문 주름버섯목 낙엽버 섯과의 버섯으로 맛과 풍미가 뛰어나며 항암과 항비만 효 과를 가지고 있는 고가의 식용버섯이다 (Nanba et al, 1987;Lee et al, 2014). 재배농가는 물론 재배면적, 생산 량이 매년 증가하고 있어 고소득 작목으로 자리 잡고 있 으며 (Kang et al, 2004), 표고의 약리 효과가 밝혀지면서 수요 또한 증가 해 왔다.…”
