“…Oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation have been reported to occur during development of CCl 4 -induced hepatic damage [22]. Several antioxidant extracts have been shown to protect the liver against hepatotoxicants [23][24][25][26]. Increased activities of AST, ALT and ALP in the serum of CCl 4 -treated mice compared with those in control mice were indicative of hepatic cell damage and leakage of cytosolic contents into the systemic circulation [27,28].…”

“…The authors suggest that the hepatoprotective effect may be due to its potent antioxidant capacity. According to the authors the H. erinaceus polysaccharides could be exploited as antioxidant products and as supplements in the prevention of hepatic diseases [116].…”

Abstract:The particular characteristics of growth and development of mushrooms in nature result in the accumulation of a variety of secondary metabolites such as phenolic compounds, terpenes and steroids and essential cell wall components such as polysaccharides, β-glucans and proteins, several of them with biological activities. The present article outlines and discusses the available information about the protective effects of mushroom extracts against liver damage induced by exogenous compounds. Among mushrooms, Ganoderma lucidum is indubitably the most widely studied species. In this review, however, emphasis was given to studies using other mushrooms, especially those presenting efforts of attributing hepatoprotective activities to specific chemical components usually present in the mushroom extracts.

BackgroundHericium erinaceus, as a commonly used medicine or food, has attracted much attention due to its health effects when used as a home remedy for some diseases. The aim of this work was to investigate the hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects of aqueous extract of Hericium erinaceus (AEHE) in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats.MethodsDiabetes was induced in Wistar rats by the administration of STZ (55 mg/kg BW.) intraperitoneally. AEHE (100 and 200 mg/kg BW.) was administered for a period of 28 days. The effects of AEHE on glucose, insulin, and lipid files in blood, and oxidative stress parameters in the liver were evaluated. The body weights of rats were recorded at day 0, 14 and 28th days.ResultsThe administration of AEHE for 28 days in STZ diabetic rats resulted in a significant decrease in serum glucose level and a significant rise in serum insulin level. AEHE treatment attenuated lipid disorders. In addition, AEHE administration increased the activities of CAT, SOD, and GSH-Px, and GSH level, and reduced MDA level in the liver tissue significantly.ConclusionOur results suggest that AEHE possesses hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, and antioxidant properties in STZ-induced diabetes rats.
