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. The infrared spectra showed that the total triterpenes were consistent with the characteristic structures of the total triterpenes before and after purification. The binding abilities of total triterpenes to sodium glycocholate, sodium taurocholate, and sodium cholate were investigated, and all of them had a good binding ability to cholate. In vivo experiments showed that zebrafish tolerated the total triterpenes from the mushroom nuclei at a maximum concentration of 500 µg/mL. A correlation analysis showed that the total triterpenes from the mushroom nuclei reduced the lipid accumulation in zebrafish induced by a high-fat diet, and the lipid-lowering effect showed a correlation with dose.

Saponins in soil, their degradation and effect on soil enzymatic activities.
J Environ Sci (China)
August 2025
CREA Research Centre for Animal Production and Aquaculture, viale Piacenza 29, 26900 Lodi, Italy.
Saponins can be potential candidates for the development of safe biopesticides, due to their widely acknowledged insecticidal, fungicidal and nematicidal activity, but information on their effects on soil biological properties is still limited. This study aimed to investigate the short-term fate of saponins from Medicago sativa in soil and their dose-effect relationship with microbial biomass and selected enzyme activities in soils with different origin, physical and chemical properties. Microbial degradation of total saponins ranged from 46 % to 91 %, according to soil characteristics, within 28 days from their incorporation into the soil.

Background: During medium- to long-duration spaceflights, real-time microgravity can increase the health risks of astronauts. In particular, the disruption of intestinal homeostasis is closely related to other health problems, and it is necessary to monitor related treatment strategies. Ginseng is a well-known Chinese herbal medicine often used to maintain health.

Background: Hyperlipidemia is a lipid metabolism disorder that, in severe cases, can lead to conditions such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, and cirrhosis. Previous studies have identified Ilicis Rotundae Cortex (IRC) crude extract as having the potential to regulate blood lipids. However, whether the triterpenoids therein are the principal agents responsible for hypolipidemic effects and their specific mechanisms of action remain unexplored.

Ganoderma lucidum (G. lucidum) spore oil, an important health supplement, has been found to frequently contain the excessive levels of phthalate plasticizers (PAEs), which may cause the safety and quality risks. This study used supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) with 95 % ethanol as the entrainer, added at ratios of 0 % to 25 % of the spore powder mass, to investigate the effects of different extraction stages and entrainer on the reduces of PAEs content, physicochemical properties, and active components.
