Nutrients and Nutraceuticals Content and In Vitro Biological Activities of Reishi Mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) Fruiting Bodies

Abstract

The present study aims to determine the nutrients and nutraceuticals content and in vitro biological activities of reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) fruiting bodies. Data of the nutrients composition of Ganoderma lucidum powder indicated that crude fiber and carbohydrates were the most largest compounds (50.19 and 37.33%, respectively) followed by total protein (8.54 %), ash (2.03 %) and crude fat (1.91%.). Also, Ganoderma lucidum powder is rich in different estimated elements (K,

Reishi Mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) Intervention Improves Lipids Profile and Paraoxonase/Arylesterase Activities in Serum as well as Enhances Haemostatic Effects in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats

“…The current study's findings are consistent with those of other researchers who have examined Ganoderma lucidum and other species of algae (Elhassaneen et al, 2019(Elhassaneen et al, , 2020Sayed-Ahmed et al, 2020;Essa, 2021;Fayez, 2021). G. lucidum fruits contain a wide variety of bioactive compounds, each of which has several biological effects, including a reduction in BWG, FI, and FER (Sayed Ahmed et al, 2020;Gharib et al, 2022). * Each value represents the mean of six rats.…”

“…Several studies reported that Ganoderma lucidum and its extracts are a rich in phenolics, lycopene, polysaccharides, Terpenoids, flavonoids, Triterpenoids, sterols, cyclo-octasulfur, an ergosterol peroxide , cerebrosides, vitamins (A, B and E) (McKenna et al, 2002;Gao et al, 2003;Liu et al, 2016;Darija et al, 2018;Gharib et al, 2022). These bioactive constituents are known for various biological properties, including antioxidant activity, inhibition of lipid oxidation and free radical scavenging action, glucose response improvement, and alleviation of metabolic dysregulation of free fatty acids and insulin resistance associated with T2DM, according to our previous studies with others 2016a;Elmaadawy et al, 2016;Aly et al, 2017;Elbasouny et al, 2019, Elsemelawy et al, 2021Gharib et al, 2022). Also, the phenolic compound in Ganoderma lucidum exhibited high potency of antioxidant activities which lead to inhibit the α-amylase and sucrase, the principle substance for suppressing of the postprandial hyperglycemia (Tiwari and Madhusudana, 2002).…”

“…In accordance with this, Elsemelawy et al (2021) revealed that oxidative stress indices were enhanced in diabetic rats and that Ganoderma lucidum alcoholic extract had an antioxidant and chemoprotective impact on the liver due to its high bioactive component content. Also , Wasser, (2005) and Gharib et al, (2022) reviewed that Ganoderma lucidum may be employed as a dietary natural antioxidant intervention to prevent free radicalrelated disorders. The antioxidant and free radical scavenging activities of its bioactive components may account for many of its beneficial qualities.…”

“…The antioxidant and free radical scavenging activities of its bioactive components may account for many of its beneficial qualities. Catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase are just some of the antioxidant enzymes that are stimulated, and they all work together to keep lipids from oxidising (Wasser, 2005;Elsemelawy et al, 2021;Gharib et al, 2022).…”

“…Numerous studies have shown that triterpenoids, polysaccharides, nucleotides, sterols, steroids, fatty acids, proteins/peptides, and trace minerals are all found in Ganoderma lucidum. (Stojkovic et al, 2014;Elsemelawy et al, 2021;Gharib et al, 2022). Due to its unique bioactive ingredient composition, it has been used for centuries as a folk medicine to cure a variety of human ailments, including cancer, hypertension, ageing, hepatitis, nephritis, and immunodeficiency, among others (McKenna et al, 2002;Wasser, 2005;Sayed-Ahmed et al, 2020).…”
