Study on the 3‐hydroxy‐3‐methyl‐glutaryl CoA reductase inhibitory properties of Agaricus bisporus and extraction of bioactive fractions using pressurised solvent technologies

Abstract: BACKGROUND Agaricus bisporus mushrooms were able to lower cholesterol levels in hypercholesterolaemic rats and it was suggested that dietary fibre might inhibit cholesterol absorption. However, A. bisporus extracts were also able to inhibit the 3‐hydroxy‐3‐methyl‐glutaryl CoA reductase (HMGCR, the key enzyme in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway) and this might also contribute to the observed lowering of cholesterol levels in serum. RESULTS The methanol–water extracts obtained from A. bisporus were able to i… Show more

“…This indication was also noticed in previous studies . The ExB extract was also able to inhibit 59% of the enzyme activity indicating that perhaps other compounds soluble in supercritical CO 2 (more lipophilic molecules) were also interfering with the HMGCR activity as was also previously noticed by Gil‐Ramirez et al (2013) for SFE extracts obtained from Agaricus bisporus .…”

“…In addition, polyunsaturated fatty acids are present in sufficient quantity to bind to the bad cholesterol present in the human body and to remove it successfully from the organism [32]. Different studies describe this beneficial effect of fungi on blood cholesterol levels [33][34]. Among the different species of fungi, the Pleurotus species is distinguished as a potential regulator of cholesterol metabolism.…”
