Hepatoprotective and in vitro antioxidant effects of native depolymerised-exopolysaccharides derived from Termitomyces albuminosus

Abstract: In this study, native depolymerised-exopolysaccharides (DEPS) were successfully derived from the exopolysaccharides (EPS) of Termitomyces albuminosus, and its hepatoprotective effects against a high-fat emulsion and in vitro antioxidant activities were investigated. Based on the results of in vitro assays, DEPS showed superior antioxidant activities compared with EPS dose-dependently. According to the in vivo assays both EPS and DEPS significantly decreased the lipid levels, improved the enzymatic activities, … Show more

“…They have the ability to lessen oxidative stress and retarded the development of various disease complications by countering ROS production. The compound possessing reducing power reduces the Fe 3+ /ferricyanide complex to ferrous form . In our study, the reducing power of α‐bisabolol rises with increasing the concentration.…”

“…Briefly, primary human skin fibroblasts, available in our laboratory (called WT1) [40], were seeded and allowed to adhere to 96 well plates at an initial density of 6 × 10 3 /well in DMEM medium plus 10% fetal calf serum, for 24 h. Before being distributed to cells, EPS were added directly to the medium and then filter-sterilized through a 0.2 µm filter. The cell medium was then replaced with fresh medium containing different concentrations of EPS (from 25 to 200 µg/mL), and the cells were incubated for 24 and 48 h. Experimental concentrations were chosen based on available literature on EPS [41][42][43]. Cells treated only with culture medium or with Triton X served as control groups.…”

“…It cannot be cultivated, because a symbiotic relationship with termites is necessary [229,230]. The mushroom has been reported to contain water-soluble polysaccharides with a great variety of biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, hypolipidemic activities [230][231][232][233][234]. In addition, T. albuminosus has been reported to contain many other bioactive components, such as chitin-glucan complex, alkaline protease, saponins, melanin, lipids and ergosterol; some of which possess analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities [235][236][237][238].…”
