Extraction of a Triterpene Solution and Evaluation of the Hypolipidemic Efficacy of the (Fr.) Sing Sclerotium.

The total triterpenes in edible mushrooms have high medicinal value, and the sclerotium has various biological activities, such as the regulation of blood pressure and blood glucose. In this study, the total triterpenes of the (Fr.) Sing Sclerotium (PTRSS) were extracted, and their hypolipidemic effects were also investigated.

Reduces Oxidative Stress and Regulates Immune T Cells to Inhibit Metastatic Melanoma Invasion.

In this study, the water extract of (Linn.) Link (CM) was used as a functional material to investigate the inhibitory mechanisms on B16F10 and lung metastatic melanoma (LMM) cells. Reducing power, chelating ability, and 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assays were applied for antioxidative capacities, and we obtained positive results from the proper concentrations of CM.
