Estresse Oxidativo
Cogumelos shiitake são uma boa fonte de antioxidantes que podem ajudar a proteger contra o estresse oxidativo.
Digestão
Os cogumelos shiitake podem ter efeitos benéficos no sistema digestivo.
Artrite
Os cogumelos shiitake podem reduzir diretamente os sintomas inflamatórios causados pela artrite relacionada ao sistema imunológico, e os cogumelos maitake possuem propriedades que fortalecem o sistema imunológico. Os extratos de cogumelos medicinais são ricos em antioxidantes que quebram os radicais livres para ajudar o corpo a se manter saudável.
Microbioma Intestinal
Os cogumelos Shiitake atuam como prebióticos, fornecendo uma fonte de alimento para as bactérias benéficas do intestino. Isso promove um equilíbrio saudável na microbiota intestinal, que é essencial para a digestão adequada e a função imunológica. Estudos demonstraram que os cogumelos Shiitake podem melhorar a imunidade intestinal e proteger contra infecções patogênicas ao apoiar o crescimento de bactérias benéficas como Lactobacillus e Bifidobacterium.

Medicinal mushrooms are multicomponent mixtures (MOCSs). They consist of a large number of individual compounds, each with different chemical structures, functions, and possible pharmacological activities. In contrast to the activity of an isolated pure substance, the effects of the individual substances in a mushroom or its extracts can influence each other; they can strengthen, weaken, or complement each other. This results in both advantages and disadvantages for the use of either a pure substance or a multicomponent mixture.

The prevalence of age-related diseases, including obesity (a lipid metabolism disorder), increases with the increase in a dog’s lifespan. Most of age-related diseases are associated with oxidative stress by excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) from impaired mitochondrial functions. Safe and effective supplements with antioxidative and anti-inflammatory activities are required to prevent obesity and associated complications. Shiitake mushroom exhibit various functions including antioxidant activity. We investigated the effect of shiitake powder supplementation in healthy dogs.

Mushrooms, unique edible fungi, contain several essential nutrients and bioactive compounds which may positively influence cardiometabolic health. Despite a long history of consumption, the health benefits of mushrooms are not well documented. We conducted a systematic review to assess the effects of and associations between mushroom consumption and cardiometabolic disease (CMD)-related risk factors and morbidities/mortality.

Lentinula edodes, commonly known as shiitake mushroom, is renowned for its potential health advantages. This research delves into the often-overlooked by-product of shiitake cultivation, namely spent mushroom substrate (SMS), to explore its nutraceutical properties. The SMS samples were collected and subjected to different extraction methods, namely short or long agitation, and ultrasound-assisted extractions using different temperatures and distilled water or a 50% (v/v) ethanol as solvents.

Lentinula edodes mycelia extract (L.E.M.) is extensively utilized as an herbal medicine. However, its safety and effectiveness have not yet been scientifically verified. In this study, we investigated its safety and its influence on quality of life (QOL) and the immune response in patients undergoing cancer chemotherapy. Seven patients were studied in total. The patients were undergoing postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer (n = 3) or gastrointestinal cancer (n = 2), or were receiving chemotherapy to prevent recurrence of gastrointestinal cancer (n = 2). The first course of treatment was chemotherapy alone and the second was chemotherapy plus concomitant administration of L.E.M. Adverse events and changes in the QOL score, lymphocyte subpopulations, lymphocyte activity and serum immune indices were evaluated during the study period.

A crude polysaccharide fraction (termed cLEP) and two derived fractions (termed LEP1 and LEP2) from Lentinus edodes mycelia were purified and characterized. LEP1/-2 were classified as α-type heteropolysaccharides with 1 → 2, 1 → 3, 1 → 4, 1 → 6 linkages. Their monosaccharide components were respectively Gal, Glc, Man, Ara, Fuc, and Rha (molar ratio 10.17:9.75:9.01:1.61:1.26:1), and Glc, Man, Fuc, Rha, and Gal (molar ratio 5.18:4.69:2.85:1.43:1). In vitro culture experiments with macrophage RAW264.7 cells showed no cytotoxic effects of the polysaccharides. Phagocytosis (neutral red uptake) was significantly enhanced by LEP1/-2. Levels of NO, TNF-α and IL-6 were higher in LEP1/-2-treated groups than in cLEP-treated group. qRT-PCR analysis showed that LEP1/-2 had greater enhancing effect on mRNA transcription of iNOS, TNF-α, and IL-6 genes. Western blotting analysis revealed that LEP1/-2 strongly promoted phosphorylation of kinases ERK and JNK, and suggested that they exert immunoenhancing effects via MAPK signaling pathway.

High glucose can lead to toxicity on islet beta cells. The protective effects of a novel Lentinus edodes mycelia polysaccharide (LMP) on INS-1 cells damaged by glucose were investigated. Cell viability, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, cell apoptosis, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and malondialdehyde (MDA) content were detected. P38 MAPK, JNKand NF-kappaB pathways were analyzed to reveal the inhibitory mechanism of LMP on glucose-induced INS-1 cells toxicity. The results showed that LMP could decrease cellular oxidative stress, reduce intracellular ROS levels, decrease MDA content and increase SOD activity. Furthermore, the glucose-induced cell apoptosis in cells were inhibited by regulating the expression of Bax, Bcl-2, cleaved caspase3 and cleaved caspase1.
