Evaluation of metal contents and bioactivity of two edible mushrooms Agaricus campestris and Boletus edulis

Macroelement contents and chemical composition of Lactarius deliciosus (l.) Collected from Batak mountain in Bulgaria

“…It can change the content and amount of active compounds according to growth media of mushroom. Therefore chemical contents and antimicrobial substances of mushroom species naturally grown in different geographic locations of world must be analyzed and comparison of this analysis is very important [8,9].…”

Chemical Composition and Antioxidant Properties of Wild Tunisian Edible and Medicinal Mushrooms

“…In many reports has been found a high correlation between phenolic content and antioxidative activities. Phenolics are potential antioxidants which can donate hydrogen to free radicals and thereby stop the chain reaction of lipid oxidation at the initial stage, due to the presence of their phenolic hydroxyl groups (Kosanić et al, 2017). Although, it is difficult to compare all obtained results with those reported in literature because the few information related T. equestre and T. terreum.…”

“…For instance, Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi), Agaricus campestris (Agaricaceae), Tricholoma terreum and Tricholoma equestre are appreciated mushrooms due to their organoleptic, nutritional and pharmacological properties (Yilmaz et al, 2006). Several studies have reported a number health benefits of these species, such as antioxidant, anti-aging (Cherian et al, 2009;Kosanić et al, 2017), antimicrobial (Karwa et al, 2012), hypoglycemic (Xiao et al, 2012), antiulcer (Gao et al, 2004) and anti-inflammatory (Muszyńska et al, 2018) effects. Polysaccharides, essential fatty acids and secondary bioactive compounds are the best known and potent mushroom-derived substances with high values (Chen et al, 2012;Gąsecka et al 2017).…”

“…For instance, previous data have demonstrated that G. lucidum polysaccharides stimulated immune function both in vivo and in vitro (Wang et al, 2000). A. campestris extracts were also found to possess good antitumor activities (Li et al, 2005;Kosanić et al, 2017). Water extract of this specie enhances the secretion of insulin and have insulin like effects on glucose metabolism (Gray and Flott, 1998).…”

Boletus aereus protects against acute alcohol-induced liver damage in the C57BL/6 mouse via regulating the oxidative stress-mediated NF-κB pathway

“…Boletus aereus Bull. (Boletaceae) (BA), rich in carbohydrates, amino acids and fatty acids and widespread in Europe (Beugelsdijk et al 2008), shows a variety of biological functions such as antioxidant (Zheng et al 2014), anti-inflammatory (Wu et al 2016), antitumor (Lemieszek et al 2017) and antimicrobial (Kosani et al 2017) properties. BA polysaccharides can increase the activities of antioxidant enzymes and reduce the lipid peroxidation in mice administered with alcohol (Guo et al 2015).…”
