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

Antioxidant and Hepatoprotective Activities of Polysaccharides from Spent Mushroom Substrates (Laetiporus sulphureus) in Acute Alcohol‐Induced Mice

“…The monosaccharide compositions of polysaccharides from Catathelasma ventricosum [ 46 ], Lentinus edodes [ 12 ], T. albuminosus [ 27 ], and Flammulina velutipes [ 14 ] were found to be different from the monosaccharide compositions of H-SMPS and E-SMPS from the SMS of L. sulphureus determined in the present study. This difference may be attributed to the differences in strains, culture methods, and extraction conditions used.…”

“…Monosaccharide compositions of H-SMPS and E-SMPS were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC-2010, Shimadzu, Japan) equipped with a flame ionization detector (FID) according to a reported method [ 27 ]. Briefly, 0.1 g of the sample was hydrolyzed with 1.8 mL of trifluoroacetic acid (2 M) at 100°C for 4 h. The resulting hydrolysate was neutralized with 0.6 mL of ammonium hydroxide (12 M), restored with 0.4 mL of sodium borohydride in ammonium hydroxide (2% w / v ), and acetylated with 0.6 mL of methylimidazole and 4 mL of acetic anhydride.…”

The characterization, renoprotection and antioxidation of enzymatic and acidic exopolysaccharides from Hypsizigus marmoreus

“…Different drugs have been synthesized for the treatment of DM; however, many synthetic drugs have a number of serious side effects 1 . With comparatively low side effects, polysaccharides from mushroom were used as potential medicines to open new avenues for the treatment of various diseases due to their biological activities 6 – 8 . Many investigators focused their academic attention on the study of antioxidation from either the fruiting body or mycelia of various medicinal fungi.…”

“…In the cholesterol families, the HDL-C could carry the cholesterol ester from the peripheral tissues to the liver by the “reverse cholesterol transport” pathway during blood circulation, inhibiting the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. However, the other two lipoproteins of LDL-C and VLDL-C could accelerate the risk factors for coronary heart disease 8 . In addition, higher TC and TG levels could be a risk for atherosclerotic plaque lesions, attributing to their pathological accumulation in the blood vessel walls 11 .…”

“…Additionally, these mushrooms have potential effects as antibacterial, anti-tumor 3 , antioxidant compounds, in protection against DNA damage 4 , and as neuroprotective compounds 5 . Numerous literature has demonstrated that polysaccharides, the most varied nutrient dense and abundant substances, have potential biological properties, such as the antioxidants of Tricholoma mongolicum Imai 6 , the antitumor compounds of Lentinus edodes 7 , and the anti-hyperlipidemic compounds of Termitomyces albuminosus 8 . In this regard, the polysaccharides from H. marmoreus , one of the most widely used traditional Chinese medicines and nutritional mushrooms, have attracted much attention because of its multiple pharmacological effects, including as antioxidant, anti-tumor, antiviral compounds and for their immunomodulating properties 9 .…”
