Fruiting-body lectin genes obtained from Pleurotus cornucopiae were expressed in Pichia pastoris Because of glycosylation of the products, their molecular mass was larger than that of the corresponding native lectins. They showed binding activity to porcine stomach mucin in the enzyme-linked lectin assay system, but did not agglutinate red blood cells.

Long-term intake of Tamogi-take mushroom (Pleurotus cornucopiae) mitigates age-related cardiovascular dysfunction and extends healthy life expectancy.

Age-related declines in cardiac function and exercise tolerance interfere with healthy living and decrease healthy life expectancy in older individuals. Tamogi-take mushrooms (Pleurotus cornucopiae) are known to contain high levels of Ergothioneine (EGT), an antioxidant with potential health benefits. In this study, we assessed the possibility that long-term consumption of Tamogi-take mushrooms might attenuate age-related decline in cardiac and vascular endothelial function in mice.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the differences between original polysaccharides (PCPs) and microwave-cooked polysaccharides (MPCPs) in terms of their physical and chemical properties, finding that MPCPs had higher carbohydrate and glucose content but lower molecular weight. !* -
- During the initial 6 hours of fermentation, gut microbiota showed a greater preference for MPCPs, although PCPs were eventually consumed faster overall. After 24 hours, both types were utilized by the microbiota, increasing beneficial bacteria while decreasing harmful ones. !* -
- Both PCPs and MPCPs led to significant increases in beneficial short-chain fatty acids, suggesting that these polysaccharides could serve as effective prebiotics for maintaining gut health
Fermentation of soybeans with and increases isoflavone aglycones, total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity.

Article Synopsis
- Edible basidiomycetes can effectively decompose polyphenols in soybeans, changing isoflavone glycosides into aglycones during fermentation.
- After 30-40 days of fermentation, soybeans show a significant increase (about 4 times) in polyphenol content compared to unfermented soybeans, particularly in antioxidant activity.
- Ergothioneine (EGT) was absent in unfermented soybeans but peaked in both fermented varieties on day 20, contributing to higher antioxidant activity, especially in the variety fermented by one specific mushroom.
Edible mushroom () extract vs. glibenclamide on alloxan induced diabetes: sub-acute study of Nrf2 expression and renal toxicity.

Department of Histology and Embryology, School of Anatomical Sciences, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa.
The study aims to compare the action of and glibenclamide on alloxan-induced diabetes and ascertain how an aqueous extract of the edible mushroom regulates the expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), oxidative stress biomarkers and renal toxicity in a diabetic male Wistar rat model. Twenty-five adult male Wistar rats were randomly grouped into five groups with five rats per. Group 1 and those in the treatment groups received normal feed and water .
