“…Teng, Hymenochaetaceae (PL), a well-established medicinal mushroom, has been used in Asian countries for centuries to prevent or treat ailments as diverse as hemorrhage, rheumatoid arthritis, gastroenteric dysfunction, diarrhea, and cancers. A number of studies have revealed that PL alleviates septic shock and has antitumor (Kim et al, 2003; Zhu et al, 2007; Park et al, 2010; Konno et al, 2015), immunomodulatory (Song and Park, 2014;Lin et al, 2015; Suabjakyong et al, 2015), anti-angiogenic (Sliva et al, 2008; Lee et al, 2010), and antioxidant properties (Lee et al, 2011, 2015). Moreover, in rats intraperitoneally administered filtrate of PL broth culture, dose-dependent decreases in cortical infarct volume have been demonstrated following permanent focal cerebral ischemia (Suzuki et al, 2011).…”
