Protective effects of mycelia of Antrodia camphorata and Armillariella tabescens in submerged culture against ethanol-induced hepatic toxicity in rats

Protective effect of Antrodia Camphorata on bladder ischemia/reperfusion injury

“…Serum deprivation induced apoptosis in neuronal PC12 cell lines, decreased phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and increased phosphorylation of JNK and MAPKs. AC extract can reverse these effects and prevent neuronal cell apoptosis [23]. In the present study, neurofilament contents significantly decrease following I/R, feeding rabbits with AC can prevent neurofilament damage and increase nerve density.…”

“…Neuroprotective properties of AC have been demonstrated in other in vitro studies [21][22][23]. Serum deprivation induced apoptosis in neuronal PC12 cell lines, decreased phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and increased phosphorylation of JNK and MAPKs.…”

The antihyperlipidemic activities of enzymatic and acidic intracellular polysaccharides by Termitomyces albuminosus

“…The mycelium obtained by liquid fermentation technology is a rapid, convenient and alternative resource and might replace the fruit bodies of T. albuminosus (Lu, Tao, Zou, Fu, & Ao, 2007). Meanwhile, it also had been demonstrated that the polysaccharides from the mycelia of T. albuminosus have beneficial analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects (Lu et al, 2008).…”

Antidiabetic activities of ethanol extract of dry matters of culture broth of Coriolus versiolor in submerged culture

“…Its medicinal value was recorded in the Compendium of Chinese Materia Medica and has been gaining acceptance among the patients worldwide (Kidd, 2000;Wasser and Weis, 1999). Because the growth of this mushroom need several months and the difficulty in cultivation, so it is generally recognized that growing its mycelia in a defined medium by submerged fermentation could be a rapid and alternative method to obtain the fungal biomass of consistent quality (Lu et al, 2007;Ramadas et al, 2009;Scheidt et al, 2009). Although several studies have focused on the therapeutic effects of the fruit body of the C.versicolor, little information is available about its antihyperglycemic and antilipidperoxidative effects in submerged culture.…”
