Objective: The present study evaluates the antioxidant and antidiabetic activity of the mushroom.Methods: Antioxidant activity was evaluated using hydroxyl radical, hydrogen peroxide, and antidiabetic activity using α-amylase and α-glucosidase.
Result:The antioxidant IC50 for the mushroom extracts methanol and aqueous(Hydroxyl radical) was found to be 290,440µg/ml (Hydrogen peroxide) 475,370 µg/ml and antidiabetic(α Amylase) IC50 was found to be 460,500 µg/ml and (α Glucosidase) 325,280 µg/ml respectively.
Conclusion:The result obtained in the in vitro methods suggests that Pleurotus eous mushroom can be administered for its antioxidant and antidiabetic activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
