Lentinula edodes has traditionally been used to treat ulcers, bed sores, scalds and burns, hepatitis, gastritis, cancer, fungal infections, bronchial inflammation, and diabetes in Indian medicine, but its efficacy is unknown.

The current study examined at the hepatoprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties of an alcoholic extract of Lentinula edodes. These fungi were able to inhibit the production of free radicals caused by the metabolism of the toxic substance diclofenac sodium. It also decreased diclofenac sodium-induced increases in Serum Aspartate Amino Transferase (AST), Alanine Amino Transferase (ALT), Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), an.. Read More»
